He discusses the loader's 1,400 lb lift capacity, the grapple's roughly 300 lb weight, its electronic diverter third-function setup, turf tires, fuel economy at low RPM, and tractor weight (~2,700-2,800 lbs). Good for buyers curious how a small tractor handles heavy grapple work in tight, uneven terrain.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions and running commentary while actually using his own tractor on his property.
Yes, the owner lifts branches and logs between 1,000 and 1,400 pounds using the grapple, curling it down when loads are heavy for better handling.
The owner estimates the grapple weighs around 300 pounds, which leaves more of the loader's lift capacity for the actual load being carried.
It uses a quick attach third function with an electronic diverter valve, operated by pushing a button on the left and right joystick to open or close the grapple.
The owner runs the engine around 1,300 RPM instead of high RPM, saying the tractor is frugal with fuel and burns very little even under load.
