Loader LS4020

Question to the LS 4020 owners. How much weight can your front end loader lift? My Montana R4944 is the same tractor the loader is made by Ameriquip and I dont seem to be able to lift the amount of weight that I feel I should. The spec on the loader states that the loaders lift capicity to maximum height is 30 lbs and the lift capisity to 59'" is 2993 lbs, they weights are to the pivot point. I tryed to lift a 1 ton pallet of wood stove pellets out of the rear of my truck and it wouldn't lift it. The truck with the weight in i t o the tailgate was 35". I don't know if the pressure isn't turned up high enough or if it really can't do it. Any thoughts?

I have an R4010 with the same LS LL4100 loader as the R4020.

I have griped at length on several threads here about being disappointed in my loader's strength. I've been amazed at what it can't do. I was used to the much better loader on my 27HP Cub Cadet 7274.

Well that's not what I wanted to hear!
