Hi Soundguy. You probably have the information you asked for by now, but I just joined TBN yesterday, so here is some insight on capacity.
I just purchased a Woodmaxx WM-8M chipper. It weighs 950 lbs. and with the steel crate and two pallets it was shipped in and on, it probably weighed at least 1050 lbs. My 2014 model 25 XT lifted it off the trailer with no problem, I used a chain attached to the FEL arms. I also used it to hold the chipper in the air while I did the leg extension and skidbar attachment. For that I used a lifting strap strung over the bucket. The 3 pt. hitch also has no problem lifting the chipper and the tractor has no problem whatsoever powering the chipper while running a 5 inch diameter branch through it.
Did you get the tractor.
