Kioti loader actual lift capacity

Actually that is the shipping frame that was around my WC68 6″ PTO Wood Chipper, PTO Wood Chipper - My next one will be a hardwood pallet with some 2x4 framing.

I have built some out of pallets and 2x3 framing - I sheathed them much like doing a fence so as to keep out the snow because they are for storage and use from during the heating season - I find they are just too bulky - besides the fact they easily susceptible to damage (as has happened during snow blowing around them!!) - I keep thinking the IPC crates would be the bomb - but they sell around here for approx 100 bucks (plus). Tks

^ Yeah IBC totes all the way. They are typically pretty expensive by me too. Finally found a guy with a yard full of them ~40 miles away who was willing to keep the soiled plastic liners, and just sell me the cages for $25 apiece, so I got at many as would fit on my trailer. I wish that had been more than 12, but it's a good start. Now I just need a stronger tractor so that I can actually fill them up all the way (can be over 1500 lbs with wet wood).

Hello fellow NB'er. I purchased a 1000 litre IBC tote for $125 from a local dairy farmer and I am using it to collect rain water. He also gave me a couple of damaged ones where the containers were punctured so my average cost went down. The containers cut in half on a pallet make great wheelless barrows.

We have different loaders...mine is KL6010....but it's a beast! KL5510 loader is pretty close on spec sheet at least so it seems like you should be able to handle that. With filled rears & and a 6' box blade on back can still lift rear wheels before loader runs out of @$$. Moving IBC totes full of water on pallet forks.....I can pick up and move around a 275 gal which is ~2400 lbs total + weight of SSQA forks. I can't get a full 330 gal tote & either pump some water out or only fill to ~300gal. So around 2600lbs is what I can at least get off the ground & high enough to drive around & out on pallet forks, I think that's pretty good. Same for getting off a trailer - I struggle but can get a 275 up & off the trailer, a 330gal, I can't.

The Kioti loader not as smooth as Kubota (esp dump+curl together), not as strong as LS, but the combination of smoothness, capacity, and overall height I think makes it the #1 or #2 loader available among all brands. The loader primarily sold me on the NX since i need the real high dump clearance AND the strength to get a bucket of clay soil that high with ease.
