proof that a bl20 will lift a 1,000 pounds

[19th_VA]

There has been some discussion recently about the specs on tractors and what they are really capable of doing. Here I am lifting my 30 series Midwest cutter with some extra weight from the chaingurads--over 1,000 pounds. The bl20 fel on my Branson 3520 picked it up like it was nothing.

Very impressive! I'm kinda jealous. Guess I'll have to do a test myself.

Hi Alan,

Just make sure you have plenty of ballast on the rear--or loaded tires or preferably both! I would not have wanted to move much with that thing hanging like that. Need to get my tires loaded soon! I must say the fel picked it up like it was a feather--had to slow the hydraulics way down so I didn't jerk the thing around so much.
