Loader Kubota

[Jchonline]

B7800 is a B series machine, it weighs 1600 lbs. No way it has a loader that is lifting twice the weight of the machine.

@CausticUrbanCoast it appears you read the bucket rollback force (force of the curl cylinder) which in no way determines the lift capacity of the loader itself. As previously mentioned that capacity is somewhere between 800 and 1000 lbs depending on how the weight on said pallet is distributed.

Yeah I did.

However its 1325 at 59" off the ground, above that it is de-rated.

Capacity to do something and saftey doing it are different, most rams are far above rated capacity for safety. You will also see different loader ratings if a ballast box is listed.

Approx 2300-2800 lbs including the forks (depends on height)

No, he really shouldn't.

Keep in mind that the CG of the load on a pallet will be a couple feet out from the pins, and thus the capacity will be less as the lever arm is longer.

SSQA pallet forks weigh about 250 lbs. The 7800 probably does not have SSQA though. Forks that clamp on the bucket will have significantly less capacity than SSQA forks as they will place the load CG even farther from the pins.

I've put on about 1,100 hrs on my B7800, in which case I feel like I have the background to comment on this..

As has been stated, the loader model is the capacity in kilos. No question that those are reliable numbers (at the pins!). I am not thinking that you can lift max without ballast: I have ballasted rears and I generally have an implement on the rear.

I had 3pt forks that I'd use on my bucket. I'd set the forks IN the bucket and chain the top link to a chain hook on the middle of the bucket. It would reduce the length of available forks but it allowed me to pick up a lot more weight. Not something that one should do w/o paying very close attention to things.

I got my NX because my B7800 couldn't lift my wood crates, well, it could, but just barely (not enough to stack or to lift on to my deck, but it could lift off the ground and I could move them around a bit).

If it's close to max then start thinking about either trying to lift/move less weight OR get a bigger tractor. Running around max things become unsafe: flat and straight is mostly OK, but deviate from this and it becomes dicey, no matter what tractor and loader.

Are you using dedicated pallet forks or clamp on forks? Clamp on forks will lower your lifting considerably. Also how the pallet is distributed will make a lot of difference. You can lift a lot more weight with cement bags stacked on the lifting side of the pallet vs plywood laying flat. Lifting a 1000 pound close stacked pallet on dedicated forks to truck bed height would be your very maximum capacity and I doubt it’ll manage that.

I think the apples and oranges are getting mixed in with the bananas and pineapples.

There is a reason for the Owners Manual. Read and understand it.
