A beautiful day here finally in the PNW. Here are my test results so far. The day started using the forks to lift out sidewalk pieces from the mud that had been built with one of those Sakrete cobblestone forms by the looks of it. On a 40 x 51 pallet the tractor was comfortable with two layers of the blocks evenly stacked, did OK with a another layer across the back half of the pallet and would lift a pallet enough to move with 3 even layers. With the two and a half, she would lift enough to double stack the pallets. I had tossed a pallet on top of the original 3 layer, then stacked the blocks another three layers. Lifting that pallet from a foot up was more difficult.
With the same sized pallet, 8 sacks of 60# concrete evenly stacked across the surface could go anywhere you wanted to put it. Put two more sacks across the back, it was similar to the 2.5 layers of cobblestone blocks and had ~2 feet of lift, but you would really have to try to set it on the back of a truck. 11 sacks is a could lift as well, but 10 would be better for this tractor.
Math will be somewhat like this in the end I guess. This tractors lift capacity at the pins is 1270. The SSQA, pallet forks and pallet should come in around 400#s . An additional 500#s evenly stacked across the pallet seems within the tractor's capacity. 600#s stacked favoring the rear of the pallet is doable. Traction and stability on a level surface is fine with the backhoe / non loaded tires.
For a comparison, 11 sacks in the bucket was more similar to lifting 10 on the pallet forks. Weight of the bucket, tooth bar and SSQA? plus 660#s seems about what she has to offer.
Comments and thoughts are welcome. This was basically us getting a feel of our new XJ2025H. It would be great to get feedback from others with the same rig or other models. Hopefully this can help put some perspective on capabilities or optioning out a similar model.
