Have no idea - but I am gonna guess based on the size and year of tractor.
The L1500 is somewhat similar to the L175.....which is a little brother to the L185.....and the L185 is listed at 2200 lbs.....which I aint believing! Cause the L185 only weighs about 1600 lbs! But......
What are you trying to lift might be the easier question
Yes, that does seem like a lot. I have a question as to where the point of lift. Is is at short arms, and if it is, when you compute the distance to the long arms, where it actually attaches to the implement, the weight is cut in half, so that would be 1100 pounds because of the moment. I am trying to lift 200 pounds about 16 inches beyond that, so that would cut it down another half, roughly, so about 550, so if that is correct, I should be alright. I assume that the system has a relief valve. If anyone has anymore info. please feel free to jump in. Thanks for your info. Bob.
We put my sons snowmobile on a pallet so it can be easily moved in summer. My L1501 2 wheel drive lifts it. Barely. Really light on front wheels. Sled is about 700 lbs.gets it up a few inches and hydraulics limit out. Can probably turn up pressure a touch but i wont. Dont want to hurt anything i cant replace.
How far from the end of the short arms was the lift point? That would give me a ballpark number, Thanks, Bob.
