Overloaded

I'd call that nicely balanced. Often do the same with my Kubota of similar size - good counterweight in the transport box!

The empty link box is generally enough to usefully use the loader, but once filled, much better, she would not actually lift the filled link box, but I had cunningly ramped it up in the pile, while filling,  and then using the hydraulic tipping ram, levered it a bit higher again, the 3pt linkage ram then "held" the weight.

I did drive canny btw!

I did however move a surprising amount, surprisingly fast, with no fuss.

Nope, def room for another bucketful on top, if the digger can reach high enough, that is.

You're right, I should have brought the stepladder and forked a few more sods on. I'll do better next time!

 

Jokes aside, I had a job to tip it, first section of the ram went up fine, took a few shunts to encourage the second section to respond!

Thanks, the drawbar is set to suit the unimog, I should have flipped it back down for the Branson but I haven't got a drawbar so it's easier to use it this way on the three point linkage.

 

It's an old krone, beginning to show its age but its light (can pull it around by hand on hard ground when empty) and on wide tyres. Essential combination around here!
