"Breakout force at pivot pins"

What exactly does this mean? Thanks. Chris

It's the amount of curling power, aka rollback power, the front end loader has.

I think that is correct for the kioti but.....

I cant remember what mfg's now, but some used to give THREE specs. Lift, Rollback, AND breakout. Breakout and Rollback were different #'s.

I think the explination I found then was that Rollback is JUST curling power.

And Breakout force was somehow a combination of lifting and curling like trying to "break out" of a pile.

I know it doesnt much but...

The breakout force includes the curling power, but it is the total force that the FEL can exert using curl and lift. Breakout force is the number that really counts for most of us, lift capacity is a very misleading and meaningless number unless you're using your FEL as a forklift. You can't look at lift capacity between tractors unless you include lift height, but you can compare breakout force as a good comparison.
