Lifted 640# of salt with BX2230

Keith,
I have a bx1500 and hhave done the same thing. I spread about 45 tons of dirt the other weekend. Drive into the pile for a heaping bucket, pull the stick back and...nothing. Back up slightly and it lifts the whole load. I quickly learned to scoop more from the top.

However, later that day, I filled the bucket with larg rocks (iron stone is heavy). The FEL had no problems lifting with a full bucket. I guess the top of the dirt pile was too heavy to scoop through.

Love those little machines though.

Wondered if she was still working to full capacity after 85 hours of semi-abuse. Threw all eight 80# bags of water softener salt on the loader and played with it just to see what she would do.
No problem! Pretty amazing for an implement rated for only 500#.

There you go again, taunting all the non believers.

Ahhh-Ohhhhh,
