So that figures to about 2,500-3,000 lbs, that sounds impressive to me.

The curb weight of the car was 2800. The dumpster of firewood is the heaviest of the 3 test. I loaded this block in the back of the truck with it and they’re about 4,000 pound. I’m pretty happy with the M59 loader. It’s a huge improvement over a similar sized tractor loader.

My L3940 will NOT lift the rear tires up. Sure, they're big ND beet-juiced, but the loader seems weak. Someday I'll squeak out the time to check / adjust the pressure. When I get a "round-tuit".

My M59 won’t either but it weighs 10,000. My L3240 would lift one tire with an off center load but it couldn’t lift them both off the ground with them loaded and a box blade on.

Yeah, the M59 is an industrial class machine. I guess your 3240 is similar, but I think they put a smaller loader on those, which makes mine a bit weak by comparison. It needs checking and boosting, bottom line.

They offered 2 series of loaders and my L3240 had the stronger of the 2. I think it was the same loader your L3940 has.

I did the pre-winter roadside mowing the last two days with a 7' sickle bar. The nice weather has been holding but it is wetter than it needs to be with another big rain scheduled for today.

So almost 1600#.

I have the same one on my 3540... seems a bit weak to me also. had the dealer dial up the pressure all the way, and it still seems weak.

"all the way".... Hard to say.
Do you have a way to measure pressure?
I plan to off my diverter for my grapple. It's just a QD attached to a gauge.
