Lifting capacity

[Capricious]

been around to35 all of my life. Depends on how far out you are lifting. Should lift any motor but like the other poster said, you get to lifting diesel motors out of semis would need some counterbalance weight on the front.

Hmmm. A towboater, I am going to speculate.

I found out what the practical load limit on my TO-35 3 pt. hitch was when I tied some concrete blocks onto the top of my scraper blade to dig into the ground better. The (adjustable) lift link broke in two. I had it TIG welded , and it's held up fine since, but I don't overload it anymore.

Mine handled the motors with ease and I have a new top link. The only other heavy lifting I can think of at the moment that I might be doing is lifting the occasional pallet of sod. That load will be a lot closer to the back of the tractor though.

A 35 will lift a 6-700 lb bush hog with power to spare. However, as others have said, I think you are likely to pop the front tires off the ground before you run out of lift capacity.
