She narrates the workaround needed to reposition the pallet first, then reports honest results, slow lift, sluggish tilt, nothing broke. Most useful for MT240E owners curious about real-world loader limits near spec.
An owner-operator sharing candid hands-on footage from her own small farm, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
It got right at the upper limit of what the tractor could lift. It would not go up quickly or any higher, and the tilt function was not working well, but nothing broke.
The owner used her heavy-duty bush hog mounted on the back of the tractor as a counterweight while lifting the 2,000-pound feed bag with the front loader.
Yes, she used knockoff medium-duty pallet forks from eBay rated to lift 2,500 pounds, and they successfully moved the one-ton feed bag without failure.
