XR4040H loader+ pallet fork lift test - would like comments from LS

[TSO]

Interesting... you traded in a tractor for a $70k CTL.

Is it just me, or does there seem to be an unusually high number of Kubota trolls lately?

The Tractor was so bad he couldn't even sell it.

This POS LS is gone, bought a New Kubota CTL SLV75-2. Will never buy LS again. Crappy dealer, and Crappy LS support.

Did the system relief pressure ever get turned up to the spec in the manual like we had discussed?

He said it did, that the dealer fixed it and told him it would now lift 2200lbs on a pallet...

But then he said he never tested it because he hurt himself.

He said he desperately wanted an M6060 but apparently bought the CTL instead.

I remain skeptical...

I retested the LS, would still only lift ~1500 lbs. WEAK LOADER. There are no hydro tractors that I could find that would lift the pallet of salt so I bought the Kubota CTL.

How much weight in total were you hoping/needing to lift on a pallet with a tractor?

 

[hitecredneck1]

2200-2500. Only the gear tractors I TESTED like Kubota 6060 or mahandra 70hp would lift the pallet.

Well then why didn't you buy one of those in the first place?

My Massey Hydrostat lifts 2400 on the pallet (my forks are 375). My LS would lift 2000 on the pallet. It seems that every other LS owner in that size also could lift 2000 lbs on a pallet. Seems completely unbelievable that yours could not IF YOU VERIFIED THE PROPERTY PSI FOR THE RELIEF VALVE LIKE WE ALL SUGGESTED.

I did verify the pressure but was told to not up the pressure by LS. I have a gage. Maybe I got a bad unit, bad dealer and poor support from LS. I can only attempt to fix my own errors.

You said that you tested it at around 2200 PSI. But, the manual days it can be set up to 2450 PSI. Did you have it adjusted? You say the dealer said they addressed it and it will now lift 2200 lbs.

There is no reason why it shouldn't 2000 lbs.

Show us a video of the lift, AND of your PSI.

AND ... If you tested certain machines and found they could lift it, then why didn't you just buy one of those?
