lift capacity

Post by sky blue »

This could be a dexta or major question, the dexta rated lift capacity is 1840lb,
is the major the same or would it be able to lift more because of its extra weight,
i have done a search here and also goolged this with out an answer including tractor data
maybe someone could clear this up.i know the easy answer is, if it will lift until the front comes off the ground
then it is too heavy but is there a known rated lift weight :scratchhead: . sky blue

Thanks, that cleares it up , there is very little lift differance between the dexta and the major
one would have thought with the weight differance the lift would have been more on the major
but there you go'
Thanks again for the chart , sky blue
