Hello,
Need some info I can't find. Imagine that! So I acquired a converted fork lift for the tractor. Believe it or not it is mounted on a sub frame. I haven't mounted it yet - but can use my backhoe measurements to see it fits. Only difference is its longer by about 12". I will have to drill a couple holes for the sub frame front pins. I'm assuming it was made for a class III Boomer. My question is, "How much weight can I hang on the rear end of the tractor? I don't think it's much more than the backhoe. But it's capable of lifting 5000# (although I doubt the pump will support that. I use the system hyd. Not a PTO pump) Anyone have numbers? Tires are loaded with beat juice. I bought this to get stuff up to the 2nd floor in my new pole barn. I doubt I'd ever even lift over a couple hundreds pounds. But I don't want to find the limit after breaking something. Let's hear it!
