CK20(s) lift capacting?

[DroppedAxle]

Kioti's site says lift capacity of CK20/CK20s with KL120 loader is around 1100 lbs (approx) at the pins. However, my manual says it's 660lbs (link below). I guess the manual number takes the weight of the bucket into account, but that seems like a very heavy bucket (50", 440lbs??). Anyone know what's up with those numbers?

Not sure what the capacity actually is but I tried to lift an old planter/seeder and it would not lift it, when I recycled the planter/seeder it's weight was just over 1000 pounds. I know that if I try to lift a bucket of clay/dirt if I do not have something hanging on the back to counter weight I can almost take the back wheels off the ground.

Thanks for the info, Rancho.

I just found this thread http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-owning-operating/197339-bucket-weight.html that has the KL120 bucket at 150lbs. Putting that with the rated lift capacity to full height of 1075 lbs, means it can lift 950 lbs not including the bucket. Still doesn't explain why my manual says 660 lbs... Maybe it's just bad/sloppy documentation on Kioti's part.

Sounds about right if there is no ballast involved. 660lbs to full height would be about all you would dare lift. Put backhoe or other ballast on the tractor and loaded tires, you should be able to lift about 1000 lbs

With a box blade on and a fluid filled rear tires, I have lifted 800 lbs of known weight. It did it with out fussing.
