    Just working out a project and wish to do this safely and planned. Does anyone know the lifting force of the GC2310 backhoe (I'm probably even expressing this question ignorantly)? Can any of this be inferred from the dipperstick force listed in the specs? T

    JD 1025R vs GC1710 eval being cut short
