Wasn't sure if my L3800 was going to be able to move this 900-1000# piece of granite... Not sure why I doubted it. Love my kubota

Really got to test the welds on the hooks I installed earlier this year

When I lift these really heavy items I lift from the back side of the bucket bringing the object 2 to 2.5 feet closer to the tractor. A little mechanical advantage.

Your Chevy will get better mileage without that rock in the bed !:laughing:
Must have kept you busy getting those knots out of those straps !
Gotta love Kubota power :thumbsup:

It doesn't look like you have your seat belt on. I'm not trying to be safety police but a tractor can be very unstable when lifting a heavy load. Keep it as low as possible and be prepared for an upset.

Ditto that Ken.....When I lift something that unyieldy and heavy, I'm puckered all the time. Having the seat belt on keeps the pucker under control.:D

I found that worked well for me, so I added a hook there:

Just cut the strap... Used the end side of a long strap, figured I wouldn't be able to get it out

That's a good spot for a hook. I'm going to looking into that

Two years with my L3800DT. Very impresses with it!
