Front End Loader Safe Work Loads
The 60hp to 75hp loaders can lift over a 1000kg but the tractor drive lines on all TB series 60hp to 75hp tractors are not designed to handle excessive weight. This is because tractors were never designed to be loaders which are an add on implement. When you consider the weight of the loader at 790kg plus the lift load of say 900kg this is the total extra weight on the drive line and front axles! Excessive weight compromises safety and will damage front end axles. We consider safety first and believe that operators should not be miss lead into overloading. For this reason we have recommended a maximum load rate of up to 900kg.
Adding weights to the rear wheels of the tractor is generally not necessary and increases fuel consumption and wear and tear for every job. The TB series tractors are already over loaded by the weight of the loaders so unless you have specific needs for extra rear weight we do not recommend it but it is not a big cost to add weights if and when required.
