Does anyone know what thtte max lifting load is for a VAC? I know they use to carry two bottom plows, but not sure how much the weight is.

I don't know the max. weight. I've used Deere 914 twin-14" plows on mine many times, also a Deere 240 snowblower, a 5' Bush-hog, and a round-bale carrier.

I've spend a lot to time driving backwards up steep hills to prevent popping wheelies - but the only time I've maxed out the lift is when lifting wet round bales. I'm not sure what they weighed, but our bales tend to be 5-6 feet in diameter. The VAC lifts them fine dry, but has a tought time when they are soggy.

Alot depends on how much weight you have on the front and how far behind the liftarms the weight is. I used a 5" bushhog but the frontend would get light when going up an incline. I picked up some 530# 930 weights with a bale spear.
