Maximum Lift Load

Hi,
Could anyone tell me what the maximum weight the 3 point hitch will take on a Dexta, I'm looking at buying a box or bucket for moving soil/gravel/hardcore around.
Cheers

You can usually tell when maximum weight of the Hydraulics has been reached when the front wheels lift off the ground,

I could always fit some casters to the bottom of the box.

I think it should lift 1/2 ton on the 3PL without complaining. A 5ft wide box is enough for a Dexta.

The information I found is 1850 lbs(840 kgs). I think that is measured 60 cm behind the liftarms.

That's interesting. Where did you find that?

Yes a good point about the distance of the load behind the rear axle. The arms will lift a greater load the nearer the load is to the rear axle.
