When a manufacturer rates a front end loader at X pounds, does that mean you can lift X pounds with the standard bucket, or do you have to subtract the weight of the bucket from X?

I assume the first. Replace the OEM bucket with a grapple (for instance)that weighs less, and you can lift more than they say-add a heavier after market bucket and you lift less than the rated load.

But you know what they say when you assume something.
