3-Point Hitch 3 point lift capacity

GasNSteering · Nov 3, 2008

I was wondering what the 3 point lift capacity is for my Ford 1000. I have the manual and dont see it listed anywhere.

Not sure right off hand.. what ya planning to do with it?

i used to have one and had a 3pt sprayer on it with a water tank. i'm sure she picked up about 1000# with no problems.. hopefully someone else has the actual answer for you.. it's been 20 years since I drove a 1000.

I was not able to find that information for my 1700 or any other hundred series Ford, I don't know why it is not published. My owner's manual does not have that #. Ford 1000 and 1700 are very similar in size, HP and weight. I have compared the dia of my lift piston and it is very close to a TC-30. The hyd pump relief is set just above 2000 psi and TC-30 can lift about 1700 lbs. I have no doubt that Ford 1000 and 1700 at the very least lift 1300-1500 lbs and for sure 1000 lbs as Soundguy suggested. I pick up 800 lbs tiller with no problems and pulled out 6" dia wooden post buried 3 feet with no problems at all . I reckon the latter requires a lot more than 1000 lbs to achieve.

If I recall, Ford 1000.1100 and 1200 were one chassis and 1300, 1500 and 1700 being one step up. I don't think that a 1000 has anywhere near the 3 pt hitch lift capacity that a 1700 does. I had a 1710 and I recall the 1000 being tiny relative to it.

In my Ford 1000 series service manual I found the lift capacity for the 1100 listed in the repair section for the hydraulics. The 1100 has a lift capicity of 881 lbs in lower top link. I don't know why that makes a difference. I hope this helps

The 1000 should be ( IIRC ) a different chassie... they were only built about 3ys.. 73-76? and were 25 engine hpand weighed about 2400# ( IE.. 8n sized machines )

the 1100/1200 were smaller riding lawnmower sized machines with 13 engine hp / 1200# and 16 engine hp / about 1300# respectively ( 4wd may add some weight there.. )

Completely different class of machine... the 11xx and 12xx are like riding lawnmowers.. the 1000 was more of a traditional scut sized tractor.

Other ford / NH tractors in that size, as pointed out have lifts inthe 1000-1800# area.. My 1920 ( slightly larger tractor.. had something like 1890# lift rating ). A ford hundred series tractor had at least 1200# lift, with an N doing near 1000# if you chained the front axle to the ground and the in-pump relief wasn't weak.

Thanks for the replies. I checked the owners and repair manuals, the relief valve is set at 1425 psi but thats all I could find. I was just curious but as Soundguy and others pointed out, it should be at least 1000lbs. The 770 loader is listed at 700 lbs.

Not sure if the picture appears but I have a 1200 that I recently picked up, great little machine, I pick up just under a face cord of hardwood with a 3 PT pallet forks. I want to start a thread on my new purchase but have not had time to get the picks and stuff together.

For all you new owners I have this Ford 1000 Series Specification brocher from 1981 with the all kinds of specifications which includes the following information:

Hydrolic lift capacity at link ends, pounds.
1110 = 881
1210 = 881
1310 = 1432
1510 = 1432
1710 = 3813
1910 = 3813

This is official ford information and the brochure contains much more including:
Engines:
Drive components:
PTO:
Capacities:
Deminsions:

I will be happy to share any of this information to all those that need it. Ray

I noticed the 1000 and 1600 are shown as being similar to each other as they are covered in one of the repair manuals that I have. Thats quite a lift capacity for the 1710 and 1910.

Hi Ray,
That is quite a lot of lift for 1710. Can you scan and post the page? I'll be amazed if the info is real and there was no typo involved.

JC,

TC-30 I think is about 1700 lbs and pretty much same size as 1700.

rayikeo2 · Nov 8, 2008

JC, I will make you a copy but it might take a day or two as I will photo copy and see if I can either post it or email it. I saved this brochure all these years because I knew it would come in handy at some point in time.

My 3 point will lift the front end of the tractor off the ground even with 3 weights on the front if I get it under a root or large rock.

Ray,

Please let me know if you need any help to post the page. The only time I lift the front end with 3 suitcase weighs is when I'm pulling out a wooden 6"dia post buried 3 feet deep. It'll be amazing to have such a lift capacity for a class I lift. On bigger and beefier 50 hp AG tractor I found the 3 lift to be below 3000 lbs.

Thanks,
JC,

Hmm... my 7610s lifts 5684# 24" to rear of the lik ends..and she weighs about 6500# but that 3xxx number on those 1xxx models does seem a wee bit high... I don't recall the exact number on my 1920.. but believe it was 18xx or so..

Lift specifications for Ford 1000 Series.

rayikeo2 · Nov 9, 2008

The specifications and capacities pictured above came from a ford brochure. I don't know if the lift capicity of the 1710 & 1910 are a typo or not. Maybe a current Ford employee can verify if it is correct or printed in error.

There is some other information in this brochure as to recommended implements to match. If you need more information, post here. Ray

rayikeo2 · Nov 9, 2008

JC, Maybe 1813 lbs lift capacity is a more realistic figure for the 1700. The 3813 listing looks high. Also there is a differance in the 1700 & 1710 engine and pump capacities as the 1710 has a 3 cyl engine. I have the owners manual of the 1700 and will be hapy to share any information now that I have learned how to post pictures. Some of the capacities are differant between the 1700 & 1710. My tractor is a 1700 4 Wheel drive and has served me since 1981 with 985 hours on it. I have only had to replace the water pump in all that time plus the recent lift seal replacement. Ray

Ray,

I do have 1700 Ford amnual and it says nothing about the lift. I'll buy 1800 lbs but quite perplexed with the # you have. What ever it is been plenty enough for my needs.

JC,

I suspect a typo also, look at the specs on the 1910, over 20% more HP, over 25% heavier and 10% greater pump capacity yet the lift capacity is shown as the same as the 1710?

It looks like the 1710 specs are very close to the 1700 except that extra cylinder.

Ray, come back over to the "start aid quit working" thread, I know we kinda hijacked it but let us know what you found out.

Pictures here are just pure foolish play but since the discussion came up regarding the 1700's front end coming up, this rear blade weighs about 500# with the extra weight on it and it will come up even with 4 suit cases on the front, so I don't know how much counter weight you would need on the front if you could lift 3800#'s on the rear!
