I know its not much of a tractor but yesterday I killed my 1985 Deere 112L mower. I decided I was going to use it to aerate the lawn and about 1/4 way threw and she decided it had enough. Pushing the hydro all the way forward and no movement. I knew it was getting bad last year as I would mow the 1 acre the house is on and halfway threw it would get weak and by the time I was done it would be real slow.
So I got the inlaws Deere 455 to finish the lawn yesterday. and no one came by to steal it last night so I need to figure out what to do next with the old girl |

Winter took its toll on my gravel driveway this year. I drug the drive and cleaned up the ruts and pot holes.

LOL. i figured any minute my dad would be back and this was surely something i would never hear the end of. i got the idea to lower the load, very gently, just a tiny bit. still standing on the brakes, i ever-so-gently nudged the hydraulic down lever a bit and although the bundle didn't move any the rear of the forklift came down a bit. i nudged again, and the rear dropped a bit more. finally i got the rear wheels back on terra firma. and eventually i was able to actually lower the load to near enough the ground that i was no longer in danger (physically or from a butt-whipping by my father). as i backed the load away from the trailer, i thought to myself that i would from then on pay more attention to what i was doing when 6000 pounds was up over my head. i set down the bundle in the back of the yard and then came back up to sign the bill of lading. the Georgia-Pacific driver says to me, "son, i was 100% sure you were going to be picking up all those planks for the next couple of hours -- that is, if you lived through it..." ar-jedi |

Heh, I used to work at a supply warehouse with stand up forklifts, pallets of concrete came in and if I recall they weighed 3,240lbs (including the pallet weight) which was close to the capacity of the lift, occasionally they would have a partial pallet with just one layer of bags on it which was another 600~ish lbs and I would stack it on top off a full pallet to reduce my trips back and forth... However now it would technically be over the capacity of the lift, but if you tilted down slightly and then lifted as much pressure on the load as it would give, then tilt all the way back, the tilt cylinders had more strength and you'd be free from the ground to be on your way.

In a loader yes, forklift it's a little different but essentially the same idea. Not all the cylinders working at once, just lifting till it's out of travel, and then tilting back with the tilt cylinders. On a backhoe loader or other similar bucket loader you're using both lift and tilt at the same time to achieve the breakout force.

When I was a kid, we had a small Simplicity tractor. Only had about an 8 hp engine but that thing REALLY had some torque. It could pull some impressive loads. I went one day to pull out a small dead fruit tree. Hooked up the chain to the upper lift on the rear end. I put it in low and began pulling. It immediately drove the front end off the ground and would have flipped over if I had been going any faster.....and I learned an important lesson about pulling from below the axle!

They are removing the old curbing, replacing any sidewalks, taking the asphalt back down to dirt, grading, putting down new base, then new asphalt & aprons. They even came by around last week and dug up the street to replace broken sewer lines ahead of time, they are old enough to be made of clay. I'm sure they will break a few more pipes with all the shaking that goes on, and have to dig up the freshly paved street and patch it back together |
