3 Point load?

[JB4310]

I think what Spyder says makes alot of sense, it's the difference between a static load and a dynamic/live/shock load. Even though at 4 feet out it could lift a static load of probably 1,000 pounds, you don't want to be bouncing around with that.

Makes sense to me - thanks guys!

As far as Iseki goes, I have a 30hp TA 247 with a 3pt rating of 1550# with Ag tires and 1880# with R4. I use mine as a log skidder and lift and drag some very large Oak logs. No prob so far.:thumbsup:

Just physics, most implements are going to stick out more than 2 feet. your tiller not as far as say a brush hog. The farther an implement sticks out the rear, the greater the leverage and weight put on the lift. So the capacity/rating would be lower.

Wish I could make a more coherent English statement. :ashamed:

Actually, that was pretty good for a guy from Connecticut.

Hope it stays that way. Let us know when you have found the "limit". :thumbsup:

Hee-hee - that's funny!
We do talk a different language here - and we talk it fast, too!

Back to the OP's question - when I was getting my tractor I was limited on the size of Rotary Cutter I could handle by the max front suitcase weight available. That was before I added the FEL. So then the suitcase weights got scrubbed and the "useable" weight capacity on the 3pt hitch went up a lot with the FEL - which may also explain some of the difference. The weight they tell you is allowable doesn't assume you have a FEL mounted.

BTW - this was all based on my dealer's judgement. When I later did a moment diagram with fairly accurate distances between mass centers and axles, as well as weight transfer due to wheel torque I discovered that the dealer's judgement was pretty darn good.

Soon after you hit a bump with a heavy implement raised, and it falls to the ground, you will become painfully aware of the real issue.

I didn't think we had an accent here, like NY or Boston.

Though one time I was fooling around with a CB radio when on a family vacation on the highway. All the truckers, who sounded to me to be from down South were joking about me amongst themselves, saying I sounded like a lawyer. I thought it was a compliment, I don't think they meant it that way :laughing:

If it's not correctly ballasted, oh yes!

Ballasting wont keep from breaking the 3ph internals -- and would normally make it more likely because the tractor front would not lift to moderate the impulse.
