Capacity Question

[macmax55]

Hello,
My brother is putting in security poles in NYC, the footing for the poles weight 1600 pounds each. The place is has not been plowed yet and all the company has is 2 wheel drive ford vans. I said i would help him but then i realized i wasn't sure about the limits on my tractor The total weight if the footings and trailer is 5200 pounds. Will the stock bar on my Kubota L5240HSTC tow that? Also will my LA854 loader lift the 1600 pound footing?

The LAxxx designation on the Kubota loaders is their lifting capacity. So a LA854 is rated at 854kg (multiply by 2.2 to get lbs). A LA301 is 301kg etc. you'll have no trouble pulling that weight.
