While those numbers are at the angled reference at the bucket pins, forks add a significant length. Go 24" out and you half that roughly. So it would be more like 750lbs give or take. No different than measuring 3pt lift specs at pin and at 24" out. At 36" you'd be at 500 lbs or so, maybe a little less with how Kubota de-rates their machines for margin. Do the maths for the lift to full height you'll be really low at 36".
I've also found that you need a heavy ballast to comfortably use them to their max potential.
As I always tell folks... skid steers and tractors are NOT forklifts. Use with extreme caution.
