HI,
I am a new member and this is my first post request assistance so I hope you will excuse my basic questions.
I have a B2301 and have read the manual and noted the lifting loads associated to this machine.
My question is this, I have a spreader bar and wondered in it was permissible to mount a small agri fab dump trailer directly to the bar with a pin. It only carries 500lbs and I never put that much in it, also a 52-inch tow behind leaf sweeper, again not much weight.
I could fabricate a mounting from the drawbar but thought I would ask first.

O am also looking at fabricating a small set of forks which will mount via teh3 point hitch for moving wood etc , I thought it could lift 1000lbs but I cannot see this in the literature.
All assistance will be very welcome.

1808 lbs at lift points,1411 lbs 24"from lift points or on three point arms.
I built an inverted "T" with three reciever tubes on underside.one For trailer hitch bar and two square tubes for forks. Super handy. My L1501 may Lift 600 on a good day, for the most part it does the job.
