LOADER CAPACITIES

[flINTLOCK]

Thanks for the help. I'll have to double check the specs, but cause my tractor has supersteer, I believe the loaders different and has lower capacity.

I noted in your signature file that you have an Anbo grapple. Could the weight of that grapple be part of the issue? Your net lift with a heavy grapple and modest lift capacity could be frustratingly low. Do you notice the lack of loader capacity with other implements too?

Seems that New Holland loader would be a 260TL and rate
Lift capacity @ max. height @ pins, lbs. 1955

Provided I'm reading it right.

Specs for a 16LA on a TC40 SuperSteer, from 2006 spec sheet:

Lift capacity to maximum height at bucket pivot pin 1995 lbs.
Lift capacity to maximum height at 19.7 in. (500 mm) forward of pivot pin 1545 lbs.
Lift capacity to 59.1 in. (1.5 m) at bucket pivot pin 2128 lbs.
Lift capacity to 59.1 in. (1.5 m) at 19.7 in. (500 mm) forward of pivot pin 1726 lbs.
Breakout force at bucket pivot pin 3254 lbs.
Breakout force at 19.7 in. (500 mm) forward of pivot pin 2470 lbs.

Numbers for KL401 loader are:

Lift Capacity to Full Height at Pivot Pins 2,761 lbs
Breakout Force at Pivot Pins 3,727 lbs
Rollback Force at 500mm forward on the ground 4,633 lbs

So, the KL401 is about 20% stronger. However, as the absolute difference in lift capacity for example is 766lbs, the weight of the implement could play a role too. For example, a 16LA with a light duty 300lb grapple has net lift of approx 1700lbs while the Kioti with a heavy 700lb grapple has net lift of about 2000lbs. That 300lbs difference is still an advantage for the Kioti but points out the importance of implement weight. I can never remember if the manufacturers include the weight of the standard bucket in their lift measurements and if they do then the net lift for both tractors would be higher as I did not subtract the 200-300lbs for a standard bucket.

I don't know the exact weight of my ANBO grapple, but it is a not their heavy duty model to save weight. I think off the top of my head that it is about 350# or so. I'll have to check the specs when I have time.
