TC45 loader lift capacity?

[ND teacher]

I would really like to load the tires, its just not in my financial situation now, and lower on my priority list. The ballast box gives me great traction i hardly use the fwa any more, i just dont like the weight up in the air, feels slightly top heavy. I worry more than anything splitting the tractor in half. I put a huge snow bucket on it last year and loaded it up with wettish snow and it lifted it, and when i lowered the bucket it really rocked the tractor, none the less it was eased down similiar to a the pallet full of blocks.

Fill those rears with Rimguard.:thumbsup: Be safe and be happy. You gotta protect the bank's investment, don't you know?:laughing:

BTW: Check that the bolts on your subframe are tight and don't worry about overloads or splitting your tractor. My loader sometimes pops and creaks from heavy loads, but the subframe on the 16LA loader is one of the best around. I'd worry a lot more about tipping than doing damage due to overloads in my opinion.
