3 point hitch loads

[fiddlerkelly]

i have a kubota B 2630 model . I have never used a 3 point hitch on mine but was planning on building a box to use on the 3 point hitch for when cutting firewood . How much weight can a 3point hitch lift including a box I make for it .

Somewhere around a ton depending on how you have it loaded. On my 1710 I can haul about 3/4 cord of hardwood when it is under 20% moisture. Here is a photo of my "box". It is 48 x 64 at the base.

Search engines and owners manuals are your friends! A real quick online search turned up 2139 lbs at the ends of the arms, and 1676 lbs 24"out.

You might consider a dumping Transport Box for the Three Point Hitch in lieu of a fixed box.

Also reveals that tractor weighs 1786lbs. So OP may want some front end weights if he loads a near ton on the 3 pth. Front end may get a tad light otherwise.

Cheap plan: Three Point Hitch Pallet Forks, pallet, fence around pallet.

Thanks everyone for responding , plan is box big enough for about 1/2 cord of spruce / junipter or dry spruce so I should be save with that. I have a loader bucket on front of tractor so should be ok with the counter weight .

Looked in the owners manuel and had trouble finding that answer, I thought that would be under 3 point hitch section .

Yeah, no way that tractor will carry a ton without front weights. Either the front tires are in the air or the box is in the air, but never both.

whooppss. Should have read down. Yes, with an FEL and possibly weight in the bucket you might pull it off. Or carry it off.

Yeah well I am getting wood so might as well put some in the loader bucket too .
