They all seem to use a 7-12 AG Front Tire or the 23x8.50-14R4 regardless of whether its a B7800/3030, B3200, B3300, or the new B3350. So it can't be a wheel size or tire rating that allows the newer tractors to have a higher lift rating? Did the actual casting/part for the front axle change too? What was beefed up? All of the above tractors are in the 1800-1900lbs weight range, so nothing really significant in structure.
I have a B7800 that I've been happy with for the last 10 yrs, but I would like just a "bit" more loader capacity. I've already ran a gauge and I'm at the upper limit for psi (I think it was 2200, been a couple yrs since I checked) and don't feel comfortable going past that. I need a mid PTO for the belly mower, so I can't upgrade to an L Series. The biggest B matches my needs better, but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze for an incremental upgrade.
Going from a LA402 to the LA534A should in theory be 30% more loader lift or around 350lbs. Thats the difference between dragging a round bale and moving one. I don't need to stack them, just move them.
Thanks guys.
