I have a 4320. The manual states that the 3-point can lift "2500# 24" behind link arms" or "3130# at lift link ends". I'm not sure exactly what this means. I would assume that the 3103# is at the balls at the end of the lower links, the ones that the implements get pinned to, and the 2500# is 24" behind the balls. The thing that confuses me is that they say link arms and not lower link ends. When they say link arms, do they actually mean the arms that lift the lower links, the ones that extend vertically?
I just purchased a loader and need to figure this out to make a ballast box. I'm thinking about a barrel filled with concrete, but that's only about 1170# and it would be close to the rear of the tractor, which diminishes the effectiveness. I'd like to make something larger and more effective by placing it further back, so I'm trying to figure out the exact lift cap.
