Lifting Capacity of the Front Mount Quick Attach

[niedejb]

Yes this is a pic of removing the quick attach with the plow (or a mock up). The aluminum trapezoidal blocks that accept the "T" bolts aren't even attached to the "T" bolts. They are simply laying on the horizontal portion of the upper assembly.

I will keep doing my homework. I guess I could find the cross sectional area of the cylinders rod and multiply by the max hydraulic pressure to get in the ball park.

niedejb,

Interesting concept you have here. I have a small detatcher that I'm now thinking about mounting to the front quick hitch. Keep us posted. Have you figured out how to keep the roller from rotating around its centerpoint as you try to lift it?

Good for you. Keep pondering and engineering things for that front QA. I believe it is a underutilized feature, considering the price. I can envision a number of very useful attachments that I wish Kubota would market for it. johnny type bucket, pallet forks, etc. Keep at it!! Best regards

Not sure why it would matter if the roller wanted to spin in the up position...can you help me invision the problems with that?

The lifting that I was referring to would be attached to the "axle" of the roller.
