Quick Hitch Spec.'s...Lift force?

Quick Hitch Spec.\'s...Lift force?

I have a JD "Quick Hitch" front mounted hydraulic lift/hitch for my 4115, for use on my 47" Snowblower (also works with front blade and sweeper attachment, as I understand it).

Has any one ever seen spec.'s on the lift force for this? I know it will pick up the ~ 250 lb of the 47" blower. I'd like to know what it is actually rated at. Unless I missed something (always a good possibility) there is nothing in the install manual that spec.'s it's lift capacity.

Eric,

Pretty raining this afternoon but I managed to get a few pic.'s.

Here's the hitch (lift frame) that hangs off the 4115, sits in lower hooks and long pin holds the top in.

Here's the front hydraulic lift that hangs off that frame.

This is the receiver on the CUT that the hitch mounts to, then the lift hangs off.

Here's the lift, ready to mount on the hitch (hitch already on CUT...took about 30 sec.'s to install)

Lift in lowered position.

Lift raised.

Now I have to figure out it's actual lift force and if I can design a "carry-all" that will easily attach to the 3ph and quicly changed over to be attached and lifted by the front lift/hitch.

Eric,

Just FYI, it took 10 times as long to take the pic.'s and post them than it did to throw on the hitch mount, hydraulic lift, and attach the lines. Pretty sweet setup.
