Kubota L245DT

a Kubota L245DT with a loader what is the safe lifting capacity?

Proper counter weight is the key. YOU MUST HAVE ALOT OF WEIGHT ON THE REAR. The loader relief valve will stop it from lifting too much for the loader. And of course if on a slope it will still flop over on you.

I haven't purchased the machine yet, can that machine hold up to lifting 800lbs 4'?

See if they have the owners manual on the loader it should have the ratings in it. If it is a Kubota loader I'd contact Kubota and they may be able to tell you. I once had a question on a Flail mower and got a response fairly quickly from them. go to www.kubota.com

Fred,

Use to own one for 10 years. I built a big retaining wall with blocks that were around 80 lbs. 9-10 blocks is all it would handle SAFELY. Approximately 800lbs.

This was with a backblade. Heavy rear weights would help.

You could get a little more weight in, but you better make sure the ground is flat and creep along.

I put the tractor on three wheels one time with a load of dry limestone. That incident taught me.
Remember that tractor only weights around 1900-2000lbs.

Good luck.
Rick
