Suggested that loading the FEL to capacity by adding SUBSTANTIAL rear ballast, and traveling over general terrain could damage the intersection of the two title complements. Received considerable pushback, as the relief VALVE Always protects this bolted connection.?? This scenario was suggested for compacts since no chassis frame is applicable for sub 100 hp conventional tractors.
Not sure the loader struts from bracket to rear axle minimize this assertion. Thought these struts countermanded resistance forces when pushing w/ the loader?
There are a few old posts that describe this failure but nothing recent and nothing directly relative to modern compacts.
So is the consensus that this could NOT be an issue because the loader relief valve will Always prevent an overloading condition?
I have read many posts where operators take great pride in testing the maximum weight limits of their loader capacity, and perhaps beyond?
Acknowledge there are two methods to overload capacity of FEL. One is position load too far forward from pivot pins. That is NOT the subject of this thread. The other means is capacity weight normally carried by bucket/forks, specification distance relative to pin rating.
