I'd say your 10k 4 poster sorta trumps my puny little cherry picker, I'll shut up now :laughing:... Steve

Sorry, wasn't trying to flex. Just thinking out loud!

Yeah, I've used my hoist for a lot of tasks that have nothing to do with lifting a vehicle.

Buffet Table is the most celebrated!!!

Ya, mine has been a food serving table, welding table, elevator, storage platform, winch, hoist, and even had a truck or car on it for service once or twice.

I have a 10,000 pound 4 post lift in my new shop and we're thinking of backing the truck in, rigging some chain to the lift, lifting the box blade up and driving the truck out and then setting it on the shop floor. My FEL with forks lifted the beast up in the truck bed, but we kept lifting a rear tire when I tried to back away at an angle to clear it from the truck bed due to how high I had to lift the loader arms. I'm sure that with it on the ground I can pick it and put it where ever I want with the forks and some chain. I may hook it up to the 3 point and see how it works before I decide what to do. Just wanted some time to think about it. I'm not licked yet!

Why would you back away at all? :confused2: Pick up the implement and drive the truck out from under it. Lower the box and then move the tractor. :thumbsup:

Can't lift it that high or else that's what I would have done. Had to grab it from the side of the truck.

So you can't lift from the side of the truck and have the tractor clear the truck and simply drive the truck out from under the box blade? You don't have to be at the back of the truck to be able to drive the truck out from under the box blade.

Because the loader arms are so high (nearly full extension) with that 1150+ pounds hanging off them, the rear tires start lifting...add to that I don't have a perfectly level spot and the tractor begins to tilt at the front. My fear is I'll start lowering it and any little bounce will cause the tractor to tip to the front and one side...possibly tipping it over. Just a bit sketchy and I don't want to die or smash my tractor up for this implement. The guy who transported it for me is a rigger for gas and oil companies. He tried a few things, but in the end said it was too sketchy. If I had more ballast at the rear of the tractor it wouldn't have been a problem. I can't get my rear tires filled until next week and the heaviest 3 point implement I have is a 60" rotary cutter (which was hanging off the back of the tractor)

Make sense?

Sorry, I misunderstood. It sounded to me as if you simply could not move without being tipsy, not that it was tipsy to start with.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

Well that's the great thing about a Gannon box blade...
ONCE you can get it mounted to the 3 point- the light rear axle will go away .
I always leave the Gannon on when moving anything really heavy with the tractor.
The other nice thing is they really don't hang that far back from the tractor, so as to keep the tractor length to a minimum.

Hoping you give the Gannon a good chance on your Kioti and it works out.


ps. living in upstate New York a good amount of snow probably falls in the winter.?.
I use my Gannon with the tailgate locked down and plow backwards with it and then forwards with the bucket -. Kind of amazing how well the Gannon actually moves snow.

Thanks. I'm going to try it out. Cat 1-2 bushings will be here tomorrow.

I just bought a Case 6' hydraulic angle plow for $500 from a local guy. Cutter bar is like new. I'm good for plowing!
