I thought curl was suppose to be stronger then lift?

[LittleBill21]

so I have been using a set of pallet forks (Bolt On) on my mahindra, what I find interesting, is that curl is weaker then lift, all the video i have watched the curl is suppose to be stronger, yet when picking up my land plane and some tree's i am apparently over the curl limit, but not over the lift, as I can lift the item, but not tilt it back.

any thoughts.

Curl is measured at a specific distance from the pins, the forks are pushing the weight farther from the pins.

Also, it sounds like you're stressing the limits of your tractor. Not a good idea if you want to keep it for a few thousand hours.

Mine has always been a little weaker on the curl than the lift. IIRC the curl cylinders are a little smaller than the lift cylinders, at least on my 2538.
