How much can the Massey Ferguson 2705e lift?

A brief real-world lift test using a heavy, wet red oak log (roughly 29-32 inches in diameter, 8.5 feet long) as an improvised load. The owner runs the loader at 1,800 RPM, notes the tractor squatted slightly but handled the log without rear-end bounce, and references the 2,400-lb lift rating as his purchase motivator. Short and unpolished, but useful for sawmill operators weighing whether this tractor can handle large logs.
