So what do they figure someone should use to get in the nieghbor hood of 1200lbs.That would be an awful big box blade /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifI'm having my tires loaded on what ever I get ,it helps for pulling traction and the rear tires should help to keep the weight more balanced that way.

LOL, sure would be. Of course the 1200# is to get the very maximum lift out of the loader, but I don't know what you'd put on the back. The largest backhoe available for the DK55 weighs 980# without the bucket. So I guess, with the bucket, there would be enough weight for maximum, but probably not since there's a subframe involved that spreads the weight. I don't know. John
