loading dump truck with m5700?

[dirt clod]

The LA1002 loader on my M5700 maximum lift height at center pin is 114". I have a job where dirt is needed loaded an a dump truck. I normally don't do much dirt work so I have no clue if my kubota will left high enough. Would the buta be big enough for the job or do I need a large industrial TLB?

BTW, I'm having problems with my old 4500 backhoe so it's not an option.

My JD 110 has a lift height almost exactly the same as yours.

I load dump trucks by first building a dirt ramp about 2' high and maybe 8' long perpendicular to the side of the truck. Drive up on the ramp and load the truck with no problem.

The truck only parks in one spot, so the ramp can be used many, many times. The ramp is not particularly durable, so I take a few minutes to rebuild it whenever the full truck leaves.

Works out quite well for me.

Thanks Dave. 2' ramp wouldn't be much trouble to load from if weather is dry.

It will depend on the truck.

My loader reaches 119" at the hinge pin and it will load tandems but not quads. It will load tandems but not real well or real full.
