I have two and use them alot. One is an old one that my grandfather had. I would "rate" it at about 500lbs. It has lifted more over the years but I would try to limit it to that now. We used to use it alot when killing hogs. I have one that I picked up at auction a few years ago for $50. I had to modify it to fit a cat 2 hitch. It has an extention with it that makes it 10' to 16' long. They guy who had it built it to use with a JD 4955 and set trusses for his shop with it. There is nothing I can pick up with it on my Ford 6700 that would phase it at all. Any thing you are useing on a M is going to be more like my small one. (I use it most of the time on a ford 960) They are very handy. The only word of advice I would give is go very easy till you find out what your tractor will do with it. When you have something 6' to 8' back from the 3pt the front gets pretty light fast. If you are going to be pick'n up much with is I would put some extra iron on the fornt.
