Grading Land plane grader scraper/IH784 weight question

[ih784]

Hey guys as the title says. I have an international 784 tractor with a cat 2 3600# lift capability. I have intend on building a grader scraper that weighs around 1100#s. my question is: do you quys think the tractor has enough ***** to pick the unit up? It is going to be a 7' unit and I've had no problem lifting a 7' BB full of ABC rock. Do you see any problems pulling it on flat ground?

Thanks, John

Sounds like a good heavy unit at 157 lbs per foot and a good match for your tractor to me. Good luck and post some pics.

Will do mr. Gordon! I took information from you as we'll as Brian for the build. I've ordered 4x4x5/16 for my two supports, 4x4x3/8 angle for blade carriers, sides are 3/8x18x84 with 3x3/8 for the formed edges. For the skids I have 1/2x4 (wide I know but it's what they had) AR400 steel bar.
