B7800 three point lift capacity....

[sixdogs]

I have a B7800 and come spring would like to use my 1050 lb. Brillion seeder to "roll" my lawn. It's a big thing on clay ground. I have three acres.
The question is...the B7800 has a lift capacity of 1500 lbs and I don't want to blow out any seals or anything. I would just lightly lift at the end of the row and not try to bounce around or flip over backward. I could use a bigger tractor but this one has R-4's.
I know the numbers work but would like to find someone who may have lifted this amount or has some sort of experience. The hitch pins on the seeder are near the front of the tiller so it may seem heavier for the tractor than it really is.
Anyone have any experience or thoughts on this?

I meant front of the "seeder" and not front of the "tiller".

Your tractor has a lift raiting for lift at 24" behind the 3ph. If you are under that you will be ok.

Scroll down to the hydraulic specifications. You're good to go.

Can someone clarify what the "lift point" is? Is it the center of the pins on the 3 pt arms or the center of the pivot on the 3 pt arms?

Well, in the prior post I followed the link and it gave lift capacity at "lift point" which I presume is at the pins/balls on the lift arm as well as "24 inches beyond" the lift point. So I am OK.
I have also seen this data on bucket loader info too. You will often see lift capacities at different points of the bucket. So when someone asks what their loader will lift the answer is "it depends."
Seems I am within my limits of the tractor as long as I can hold the front end down. I don't plan to lift the implement fully off the ground, just enough to be able to make a turn. Pretty amazing that the Kubota can lift almost as much as it weighs.

Thanks all.
