B7500 3-pt hitch capacity

Anonymous Poster · May 19, 2003

I realize it would vary by implement, but does anyone know the max weight the B7500HST can lift with the 3-pt hitch? I'm interested specifically in a box blade, so the weight would be pretty close to the tractor.

Banjo,
They are rated at 1356lbs at the lift point and 1058 at 24" behind the lift point.

I don't understand the question. If a 7500 cannot lift it then it is to big anyway. Check some recent threads on this subject. My opinion, for general purpose work a medium duty 48 inch is max for a 7500, maybe a 54 inch. For grading drives and arenas andd light ground scuffing a light duty 60 inch. These are my opinions based on the use of a 48 inch blade on my 2410 and BX. Both the 2410 and BX easily lift this boxblade and could easily lift a blade that would be to big as well so you must be looking at one honking big blade!!!!!!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif.

It does vary by implement, and there should be a little chart in your owner's manual that breaks it down. You should be able to put a big enough box blade on that thing that it will be wide enough to cover your rear wheel tracks that the tractor will handle easily. Box blades aren't all that heavy, as far as implements go (unless, as TresCrows mentioned you're getting one seriously honkin' one /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif)...

I lifted a half pallet of bricks using a pallet mover with my 7500. I'm guessing around 1200lbs or so. No problem lifting it, but when I got off the tractor, the front end slowly lifted off the ground. I have 125lbs of weight for front ballast too. I had to remove 10 bricks to get all 4 tires on the ground.

I have all my firewood palletized. Whenever I move a full pallet, I have to fill my FEL with a load of dirt or rocks, otherwise I'm doing wheelies.
