morning all,

It's been a spell since i've posted up anything here. I'm fixing to pull up the T handle for the pitless adapter to my well today by using the bucket as a hoist. Does anyone happen to know what the lifting cap is for this backhoe? I'm thinking i'll be lifting approx 400#s. Again, I'm NOT lifting the entire 300' drop pipe + pump + wires out of the casing. Just need to pull the pitless adapter out of the casing so it'll be a lift of less than 10'.

As plan B, if the BH can't lift this weight, I'll use a come along to do the same work and use the bucket as an anchor point.

Thanks.
