Re: Thumb ... GEEZ IT\"S HANDY !!!

I am curious If I can expect the same awesome rock lifting results with a JD 448 back hoe? I honestly had no idea that a compact utility tractor could come close to lifting those kinds of loads! I see industrial TLB pick up the same size rocks, but the tractors are 3 times the size. Am I under estimating the cabibility of compact utility tractors? I am seriously thinking about getting a 4020 series with the 400X loader and 448 backhoe setup. I'm looking for those awesome rock picking characteristics! I guess I have lil faith in most manufacturers claims. JD says 800+ lbs of lift at pins, at full extension. Do you think that's accurate? so figure 800 - 300 for bucket and claw = 500 lb lift ability? Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated! Thanks ! Brian

Re: Thumb ... GEEZ IT\"S HANDY !!!

You may have noticed that a lot of the rock and stump picking operations relayed on this forum are using a Kubota BX22/23. That's pretty close to the smallest TLB out there. I would have to think a JD 40xx would have more capacity, but I don't really know. My manual shows a lifting force of ~500# a bit before max height but I don't know if that's including the bucket weight or not. I do know that when my boom runs out of power or height, I can use the dipperstick to get more height.
