Lifting capacities

I am actually unsure of the year of my tractor, it is something I have been too busy working to track down /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

According to the manuals that the dealer gave me, my 52 FEL is rated at 700lbs, 1300 lbs breakout. The 3PH is rated at only 785lbs @ 24" behind the link ends, 1686lbs at link ends.

The loader manual is #OM-TY20793 Issue C6, Copyright 1986.
The tractor manual is #OMM70367 A7, Copyright not listed.

Been several years since I screwed around with bales, round or square, but a #1200 pounder on a 755 tractor, no matter what loader, just sounds too heavy for the tractor. The Capital Press, out of Salem, Oregon advertises a unit called a " Hay Buddy" squeeze type setup. Best bet on that type unit is you only grab what the tractor will handle. If you get tippy, put the load back, and grab a smaller load, right from the truck. Setbacks, I don't think a 755 will reach high enough to unload at 12' from a semi trailer without ramping from the side, and no round bale handling(as far as I know, maybe a sqeeze works just as well on a round bale as a square). I've got considerable hours working from the seat of a 755, great little tractor with a hydro setup, but am running JD Powerreverser 4600 for my business, and am so happy with it I could just{space for rent}. If this is a horse hobby farm farm setup I guess you'll just have to tell the wife when the truck comes loaded with hay" C'mon dear, truck's here, remember we have to feed the driver if it takes more than 3 hours to unload. OR you can say" WOW, remember how long it used to take to unload before we got the new tractor and hay squeeze /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Dave,

The dealer should be able to tell you the year very easily based on the tractor serial number. There are probably guys here on TBN that could tell you as well if you posted your serial number.
