Shouldn't a TL140 be able to lift the back side of a TL130? We were trying to lift the TL130 to change the drive sprocket out from one side. The TL140 barely lifted the 130. Thanks for any info.

I don't know what it is rated to lift and what the other machine weighs but how are you trying to lift it? If the bucket is down the pivot point changes making it heavier to lift. Without the bucket it will pivot on the front wheels.
I made this mistake before changing a tyre on a machine. With the bucket down the hydraulic jack wouldn't lift it, with the bucket up it was fine.
