BT600 lift capacity?

[jnjpream]

Does anybody have experience trying to lift with the kubota backhoes for the BX tractors? The specs show a loader lift rating, but don't mention the lift rating for the backhoe (BT600).. They give digging force for the dipper, but how does that relate to verticle lifting?

I'm putting in stone steps and each step is 6'x2'x6", aprox ~700lbs. on the high end. It would be really handy to slip them into place using the BH.

Any suggestions for other than a BH?

Thanks.
