4035 FEL True Capability

lantxinNETX · Mar 23, 2015

According to the specs of my 4035HST, my FEL has a lift capacity to Full Height of 2400 pounds measured at the pivot pins.

Does anyone know if this 2400 payload is in addition to the standard 72" bucket on the FEL?

Or would I need to subtract the weight of the bucket (about 325#) from the 2400# payload?

Thanks!

You have to subtract the weight of any mounted loader attachment.

Actually I think if you dig into the specs, it states that the loader is spec'd with the standard 6' bucket attached.

I'm sure of it now... I looked myself.

Lift Capacity to Maximum Height at Pivot Pin 2425# ML120

Keep in mind when calculating things, only a certain percentage of the bucket sets forward of the pins when rolled back, and the entire bucket weight is forward of the pins when rolled down. This variance doesn't exist with all implements you can put on the front. For instance; SSQA pallet forks. Even when rolled back fully, the biggest part of their weight is still forward of the pins. There are no calculations you can really do to tell how much a given implement will increase or decrease the lift capacity without taking the geometric measurements of each and their relation to the to the pins and doing a lot of math. Even then variables such as uneven ground are going to throw the math off. It isn't an exact science.

I know that you can drive into a pile of top soil or sand, gravel or whatever you chose. Fill the bucket as full as you can and take it with you.
