ssv skid steer lift ratings
how do they rate the loaders on skid steers? I know what the ROC is and understand those numbers, but is it with a bucket, without a bucket, at pin, half bucket length lift? I'm trying to figure out their numbers to determine if the 65 is enough or if I need to go to the 75. the pallets I need to be able to move weigh about 3400 lbs including pallet. I know the tip load is 3900 on the 65. I know the fuel tank is at the rear and would allow additional capacity, but I'm trying not to use that as a factor in my decision. the pallet is about 4 foot each way. my pallet forks I would use are rated at 4k lbs and weigh about 350 lbs.
anything else I should look into? this would be a first skid for us, probably a last. would prefer to do it one time.
