I have a 3720 with a 300cx FEL. I am wondering if the curl function for the bucket is strong enough. People on this forum always talk about how strong their curl is, and I am having doubts about mine.
For example, I lifted a 1500 # weight box with my pallet forks that was sitting on a pallet. The weight box was about a foot or so from the backstop on the forks.
I could lift this weight with no problem but I couldn't curl it back. It would only hold it level..
Is there any way to test this other than getting a gauge and putting it in the pressure line? If that would be the case, what would the pressure have to be for maximum curl.
Thanks,
Chuck
