JM200 series 3PTH lift ability?

[hbaird]

Will all the 2XX series lift the same amount with the 3PTH? There seems to be the same Lift Box in all of them.

Not quite. You have to consider tractor weight and wheel base too. Center of gravity plays a roll in how much any given TPH is rated to lift. The smaller the tractor, the lighter the front end. Typically, smaller tractors have shorter wheelbases too. Given the same lift box - the lighter the front end and/or the shorter the wheelbase - the less you can lift at the back end.

I've lifted up my front end many times... Greg is correct, it's not a limitation of the hydraulics, it's a limitation of front end weight.
