The host methodically explains hinge-pin measurement points and height references, then runs a series of real weight tests using bathroom-scale-verified dumbbells to probe the rated 520-pound capacity and push toward 1,300 pounds. Practical caveats about axle stress and load positioning make this useful for buyers comparing subcompact loader specs.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractors, presenting hands-on testing from a hobbyist perspective with no apparent dealer affiliation.
Yes, the video shows it lifting roughly 1,300 pounds a few inches off the ground while parked on concrete, but this is not recommended for everyday use.
It is measured at the loader hinge pin or 500 millimeters ahead of it, about 20 inches, and is theoretical since you cannot carry items that far back in practice.
In testing, 519 pounds only reached 67 inches, two inches short of max height, so the rated capacity was not quite achieved at full lift.
No, the host warns against moving heavy loads far or fast often, since it stresses the front axle and may need extra rear ballast.
