LA181 FEL weight?

[helvit]

Does anyone know the weight of the LA181 FEL?

I looked at a few specification lists, but the overall weight of the loader is not on them.

My manual for the LA181, 211 models states the Net Weight of the LA181-1 and LA181-2 as 185kg(408lbs) and LA211-1 and LA211-2 as 195kg(430lbs), then goes on to list the bucket Weight 56kg(123lbs) and 60kg(132lbs), respectively. By definition it is assumed one would combine these measures for the overall, hence you are looking at 531lbs.

Well thanks. I was surprised by the good look of the heavy build when I first saw it, turns out that loader and bucket is more than 40% the weight of the tractor itself, about 30% of the combined weight. (My manual is on the way in the mail. The immediate question has to do with trailering GVWR and weight distribution. Thanks again.)

I move my loader around too easily, when removed, to have that combined weight. I think that the total weight is as listed and that the bucket is part of that weight. I may be wrong but that just seems too heavy for the tractor and it still has no payload.

I agree, the reference to the loader's Net Weight (by definition: without packaging) and the bucket's Weight, requires some clarification.
