It also includes a quick clay-digging demo beforehand. Ends with roughly 36 bags (about 1800 lbs) as the practical ceiling, useful for buyers wanting real-world lift numbers rather than brochure figures.
Posted by the w8bya channel, appears to be an owner testing their own tractor rather than a dealer or manufacturer.
In this real-world test it maxed out at 36 bags of pea gravel weighing 49 to 50 pounds each, putting the practical lift right around 1800 pounds.
The owner tested at 1500 RPM and also revved to 2000 RPM to see if more RPM would allow lifting additional weight beyond the 36 bag max.
Yes, before the lift test the owner dug out a stump in four to four and a half foot piles of hard clay and said the loader did a remarkable job.
