Does anyone know the weight of the kubota 66" QA bucket on an LA525 Loader. I am only curious because I have ordered the Titan 48" SSQA forks and the total weight is listed as 326 lbs. I want to know the bucket weight so I can calculate how much can be safely picked up with the forks and not exceed the LA525 Loader rating.

I don't know the answer to your question, you don't need to calculate anything, if the load is to heavy to pick up-then it simply won't, thats the built in protection the PRV (pressure relief valve) offers. Make sure you have adequate REAR ballast and go to work...

I am assuming you have a L tractor, you might want to check your hydraulic pressure if it does not lift what you think it should. I have bumped up several to 2300-2400 psi, the ones I worked on came around 1900 from the factory. I have been told they send them out like this because not every one wants a loader.
