Lift capacity of 9N 3 pt

Now, with that 1000lb weight attached right onto the lift, the tractor barely has its front wheels on the ground. I've never tried it, but I suspect I could lift the front end off the ground by hand. There is not enough tire contact to be able to steer with that counterweight on the back of the bare tractor.

Doing some quick math for a 10' boom, I come up with a maximum lifting capacity then of 167 lbs roughly on the end of that boom. Not very usefull, imo. That is a static calculation, not a dynamic one. If you include the dynamic inertia of attempting to move a weight at the end of that 10' boom, you're probably talking a limit of 100 lbs. Even less usefull.

Have also seen on prior posts that N's are capable of lifting 800 to 900 lbs and am including the above recommended maximum lifting capacities for reference only. The above weights are for 8N's but will no doubt apply to your 9N as well. Hope this helps.
