Kubota M59 FEL Lift Limit Question

[4570Man]

A 2x2x6 is more like 3600 pounds and a M59 will lift them.

I just bought 2X2 that are 1200lbs for 30$ CAD. the 2X4 blocks are 40$ 3600lbs makes more sense. concrete is around 150lbs per cubic foot

I think if I had a quite a few of these concrete barriers to move and stack I’d rent a scissor clamp that’s designed for them .i wouldn’t think the cost would be much compared to the ease and ability to move and stack them very efficiently.

The blocks I bought have an iron lifting ring molded into the top. A 3/8" chain hook fits it perfectly. It's recessed and centered so the blocks lift evenly and the ring doesn't interfere with stacking.

Lifting & stacking are quite easy for one person using the ring. I just set the block so it just touches the surface and jockey it into place by hand. Saves climbing on and off the tractor repeatedly.

Gotcha, that’s perfect, I didn’t realize they had a lifting ring

Set your hydraulic pressure at 3,000 Psig, Load your tires. You should be able to lift 2 tons mid height, more at pins if using ssqa with forks.
