Bobcat 3pt lift ratings, SAE vs. max

[sqdqo]

Which 3pt lift ratings do you pay attention to in Bobcats specs. The SAE or the maximum lift ratings?

It depends on what you want to know.

Lifting from the ground to max height? Then I'd take the SAE numbers.

Comparing to another tractor? Probably have the SAE numbers for both. Max numbers may be measured via different methods.

Looking for the absolute limit of how much upward force you can apply using the 3pt over a short throw? Then use the max number.
