IH 33 loader

Does anyone know the lift capacity of a 33 loader? Thanks

I have a model 33 and I've picked up 500 pounds easily

I would think that the lifting capacity is based on the tractors hydraulic system. My loader has a bunch of welded reinforcements and I am sure it will lift more than I need it to. I have a Ford 3pt boom pole. It has a rating system based on which Ford tractor you are using. I tried to lift something that raised the front of my tractor off the ground and it did not break it.

I've witnessed a McCormick #31, mounted on an H, pick up a 1,500# large round bale. It was done just to see if it could. Definitely is NOT recommended.
