Lifting capacity of TC24DA

[Compact1]

This machine is amazing. I attached a picture of my tractor with 12LA loader lifting 960 lbs. There were twelve 80# bags of Sacrete in the bucket. /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I was able to lift this load approx. 5' off the ground before the hydraulics started to hesitate.

This is a tremendous feat for such a small tractor...in my opinion. The box blade on the back of the tractor weighs less than 400 lbs.

Compact 1, Yes, I am very impressed with what my TC24DA will lift. My wife and I purchased 5 acres and built a home last year, so this year is lawn install. We built on a boulder pile.

I built a pole boom for the 3pt and have been moving boulders with it. I, recently purchased a grapple for the loader. I am impressed with the size of bolders I can move. I am sure they are approaching 800 pounds or so, 2-3ft in diam. and larger. I will try to post some photos in the near future.

I have to keep my box scaper on or I am lifting a rear tire. even though they are filled. Woods 5ft box scraper weighs about 400 pounds. The grapple I purchased weighs about 400 pounds. I am very please with its usefulness. moving bolders and brush etc.


Thought you would like to have my thoughts as well.

Hey Jeff,
Nice! You know, it would have been a lot healthier heavin them over your shoulder and swearin all the way to their destination /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Here's a pic of my small but mighty 1220 with a boulder I guessed was about 500 lbs, could be 300 could be 700, I sure wasn't movin it by hand. I've moved bigger, but didn't get pictures
