What would be a safe lifting capacity for something hanging on a chain (or chains) which are hooked over the cutting edge lip of a LA535 FEL on a LX2610?

Given nbryan's real-word experience with 430 lbs on a similar tractor, and the cautionary advice from others, I'm beginning to think I've over-done it. My final calculations put the total weight at 1280 lbs. My 'barrel' was a 28" tall section of a 1/4 ' wall commercial propane storage tank...

Thanks for the safety valve information--very interesting. I've updated my profile.

Thank you.

I pretty much know how much it weighs, and it's over many of the recommendations I see. Hence my double checking that it's not too heavy re. damage.

Inexperienced tractor drivers around a lot of parked cars. The counterweight makes the whole thing shorter.

My primary concern at this point is that it is not too heavy for the hitch and that it might do damage. It will be used when running a snowblower on the front. We'll remove the backhoe for the winter

I made a 3-pt counterweight out of a steel barrel filled with concrete that weights maybe 1100 pounds. That's may be half the lift capacity of the 3-pt hitch, as far as I can discern. Should be OK??

Excellent, thanks!

What is the long rectangular part that came with our new LX2610 hitch. I'm not back home yet, but they did send me this photo. Thanks.

Thanks to all. I get those back home to measure the tractor shed to see if I have an issue. (I'm away at the moment)

I'm in no great rush, but at your convenience , a more exact measurement would be helpful. Thanks a lot..

Thanks. I don't have one yet, but hope to see one at a dealer before too long. But the length is a consideration as far as a possible purchase--unless I want to add on to my tractor shed.

What is the parked length of the LX2610 with the stock loader and contracted BH77 backhoe? Thanks

We are replacing a JD 755 loader/backhoe that we have had for some 20 years and has performed remarkably. The mid-pto would be for a snow blower, should we get tired of using just the bucket. The JD 3025E lacks the mid-pto, but there still are front mount options. The digging would be a trench...

Thanks. Seems like that is not uncommon for a certain range of tractors, such as the JD 3025E, another possibility on my list to look at. My main uses will be occasional dirt moving, occasional digging, and a winter's worth of snow blowing (or bucketing) of a foot of snow several times a winter.

Thank you.

You have to start somewhere. I wouldn't buy one without seeing it, but my circumstances only allow me to do internet research at the moment.

I'm considering the LX2610 as a replacement for our older 20hp tractor. I recently read that it has an aluminum transmission housing, similar to other tractors where the design was to keep the weight down for lawn moving and the like. I have read many threads discussing the aluminum vs cast iron...
