B8200 3pt

How much will the 3pt on a B8200 lift?

Because my RFM will activate the relief valve over bumps

I'm not certain of lift capacity, but you should not be breaking relief by simply going over bumps, unless you are doing it "Nascar" style. You should be able to lift about 1000 lbs. w/o a problem, as long as it is in close, once you start moving the weight outward, the lifting capacity lessens of course. Something to keep in mind, is that your front end loader gets the oil first, so if the relief pressure on the loader is low, it will relieve through the loader valve first. Your loader relief pressure is probably about 1950 PSI. I would have to check my specs to be certain, but if the loader is popping off at 1500, it is going to relieve at 1500 at your 3-point as well. To be certain of relief pressures, you will have to check your pop off pressure on your loader. Another way to check it, is to disconnect your loader quick couplers, and loop them as if you were going to take the loader off, and repeat your bumpy travel. If it doesn't relieve when the loader is looped, then you may need to increase your relief pressure on your loader, but I would not just crank it up, be sure you use your gauges before doing so.

For what it's worth, your lift capacity is 1280 lbs at the lift points and 1015 lbs at 24" behind lift points.

The B8200 owners manual states:
Lower Link end max. loading weight; the max allowable load which can be put on the lower link end <font color=red>800lbs</font color=red>
The max implement wieght listed in table(here's a few examples)
<font color=red>rotary mower: 500lbs
box scraper: 500lbs
Snow blower: 500lbs
Rotary tiller: 550lbs</font color=red>

The owners manual and service manual are still available. I don't remember exactly, but I think the owners manual was like about $10. The service manual was $50 or $75.

Very true about the 800 lb max lift. That is a real world figure that Kubota uses but it's not their published numbers in their specifications for the B8200 as listed in the Kubota 1993 Product Guide. This book is one of the sources the dealer would refer to for Kubota specs.

The specs given 1280 lbs @ lift pts and 1015 lbs @ 24" behind L.P. is the max the hydraulics will handle probably with the front chained down. My B2150 has just about the same real world figures and max spec figures.

I just wanted to clearify where I had gotten my info. Most times when lift capacities are quoted they are from the spec sheets and not the real world figures that Kubota puts in the Implement Limitation Section.
