Is a 110, L39, or L48 enough tractor?

Now that's the most sane thing I've heard regarding weight comparisons. You're exactly right. It's all gibberish, and everyone does a different method, confusing the guyers until they're not sure what they're getting. Real tests by prospective buyers are the only way to really know if a machine is going to work for him or her.

I lifted a pallet of redi mix it was 42-80lb bags 3,360lbs. I lifted it slightly off the bed of the trailer and backed up.upon lowering the pallet i couldn't lift it back up fortunately i didn't set it down and just lowered it to a safe moving height as the forks wouldn't raise. I edged the backhoe boom out a little for stability and moved the pallet 50yds to its resting place. that day i definitely maxed the lift out! now thats test spec. don't have a bad word about the l48 yet. haven't really heard one either. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If we could have a multi dealer demo. and do it like John Bud suggested , <font color="blue"> I say dump out 100 yards of 3-5" river rock and time how long it takes to spread it out to a uniform 5" depth.

What a heckuva event that could be. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

If (when) my local dealer gets one, he also sells those orange ones. Doubt he'd let me have an on-site demo with all three at the same time though /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
