daddyal,
I would think what you are hoping for is unatainable. The rated releif pressure is about 1850 PSI. When I checked mine, it was 200 PSI low of that value. Increasing it to rated pressure made a noticable improvement.
To get the loader to lift what you want, would require increasing the pressure to dangerous levels. I have heard of people pushing the pressure to as much as 2000 PSI, but I would not recogmend doing this, and it still would not get you to the lift capacity you are looking for. If you need to lift 650 pounds, you need a bigger tractor.

I know a number of people have increased their pressure, but I would not. Doesn't seem worth it to me.

I never considered on my prior tractor, I went up in size, much better fit overall in the end anyway.

The BX series tractors are too light weight to handle that much weight.You need to step up to the B series like the B2620 or theB2920 with the LA 364 FEL.They have a lift capacity of 650-950 lbs.and a heavier frame to balance the load better.
