I have a L3010 Kubota with Bradco backhoe attachment and standard Kubota front end loader bucket. Was looking to purchase forks--looked at "everything attachments" 42inch fork attachment. Was curious how much my tractor front end will lift. I am looking at moving pallets that weigh less than 1300 lbs? Anyone have any info? Thanks---Leo.
Tractor has hydrostatic trans and ag. tires.
I'm estimating you will safely lift half that weight - first subtract the fork assembly weight and quick-tach hardware weight, then figure roughly 30% reduction at 24" from pin and you may be looking at 600 lbs.
Just to compare my L4630 will not safely carry 2,000 lb. pallets even though a quick glance at the loader ratings would make you guess that it would.
On the other hand, once you get your forks you're gonna wonder how you lived without them!
