Front-End Loader Lift Capacity

cc72 · Apr 19, 2010

I was wondering if someone could help me with the lift capacities and breakaway capacities of the VTEKS loaders. They rate them as V1, V2, V3, and V4. I was wanting to know if any specifications existed for these loaders. Is the "V" classification specific to VTEKS or is this a standard used by other manufacturers. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks like no one ever answered your question. I wonder if you even still have your Tractor w/VTEKS loader? Lol I have a V3 on my YM1702D, which is about 20 ish HP. I don't know the rating of it, but it's not much. I don't think the tractor hydraulics have much pressure as it wasn't made for externals other than the 3-point hitch. It will pick up my 4 foot Northern Tool 3-point snowblower, but can put the tractor on 3 wheels if I don't have a box blade or something on the rear. The shipping weght of that snowblower is 482#, which it will pick up, so I figure it will lift at least 500#. I can't lift a full bucket of dirt. Remember, that's a V5. I guess VTEKS went out, years ago. I use mine a lot, with no trouble.
