Lifting force at backhoe bucket

[Turfmaster6]

Just working out a project and wish to do this safely and planned. Does anyone know the lifting force of the GC2310 backhoe (I'm probably even expressing this question ignorantly)? Can any of this be inferred from the dipperstick force listed in the specs?

Tractordata.com says 1180 lbs. on the dipperstick. However it depends on how your are lifting. With the boom fully extended, it will be considerably less than that.

Thank you... I saw that but did not know exactly what that metric was telling me. I tried tracking down what the heck the dipperstick was in the first place and found a lengthy thread where people opined it was both the closer arm and the farther arm.... no resolution of the ambiguity! I would take it from the way you're using this that that is the force at the tip of the farther (from the tractor) arm and when it is fully "flexed" inward (to employ a forearm analogy). Adding "extension" away will product less... if this is accurate, I can use physics to work out the rest. Thank you and apologies for being so ignorant!

From:
Backhoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The section of the arm closest to the vehicle is known as the boom, and the section which carries the bucket is known as the dipper or dipper-stick (the terms "boom" and "dipper" having been used previously on steam shovels).
