Blackhawk loader capacities on a Beaver?

[techwrtr2]

Well miracles do happen. I found the manuals for both the loader and the backhoe. 500lb payload for the loader. There was a level/depth indicator on the left side. The manual does not give a detail view of it.

Both pieces were built by the ARPS Division of Chromalloy out of Wisconsin. Don't know when the "Blackhawk" name came about, ours has it.

ARPS was purchased by Amerequip at some point. I don't see anything about loaders on their site, but I did find the owners manual for the 710 backhoe which is what we have. http://www.amerequip.com/assets/documents/710-backhoe.pdf Might be worth contacting them to see what they have tucked away for information.

May well be. I'm fairly certain I've had rocks in my grapple that weigh in more than 500lbs. The front axle is the limit.Somewhere along the line if I have time I'm going to scan the loader manual.
