The owner explains the tractor's roughly 1,400 lb rated lift, why a fully packed 1,600 lb firewood tote exceeds it, and then experiments with loosely tossed totes to see if the tractor can handle the reduced weight. It's a narrow, practical case study, best for owners curious about this tractor's real loader limits with firewood totes specifically.
Posted by The Kelley's Country Life channel, an owner using the tractor for daily homestead and firewood work rather than a dealer or reviewer.
No. A fully packed tote of green oak or hardwood weighs about 1,600 pounds, but the tractor is rated to lift about 1,400 pounds, so it is too much for this small frame tractor.
Yes. The owner tests it and the tractor is able to lift the loosely tossed tote, though it appears to be maxing out the tractor's lift capacity.
The owner has heard claims of around 25 percent less wood in a loosely tossed tote versus one packed tight, though this had not been personally tested before.
