loader question

I agree with the others; that outfit should have no trouble at all lifting that load, although an 8 ft bucket full of gravel will be heavy.

Don't 'spose that filter needs looking at, do you?

Just guessing,

Your tractor and loader is not made to lift a full bucket of dirt and sand. When moving dirt and sand only move half buckets otherwise you risk bending up the loader and breaking the tractors front end. Don't know how your loader is mounted but if it is a mid mount (NO bracing to the rear wheels) you also risk breaking the tractor in half right next to the aft mounting point on the tractor. I have a heavy duty loader with only a 7' bucket on a 95hp tractor and will not load the bucket over 3/4 full with dirt or gravel.

Good luck

I have an Oliver 1650G with a Schwartz 1610 loader and 8' bucket. I've hoisted thousands of full bucket loads of gravel and even wet sand which is heavier than gravel. I'll admit it's hard on the equipment but she gets the job done.

Hmmmm. Boy! It sure didn't seem that way when I was on the power end of that darned irrigation shovel all those years. :>)

I agree. While I'm not familiar with his outfit, seems like something is wrong. That's a fair sized tractor/loader.

I have a 40 year old Farmhand w/8' bucket mounted on a 50 year old Farmall H.

The thing will lift until I tell it to stop.

Your Operator's Manaul should have instructions on how to set and bypass/relief valves for proper loader operation. But the first thing to check is for proper hydraulic fluid level. All leaks, no matter how small, must be corrected and the fluid level maintained per the book. Fluid in the tractor must look and smell like the fluid in the jug. If it does not, drain and replace all of it. The hydraulic system filter must also be replaced.
