[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 124049, member: 13825"] I am not claiming to be any expert , so ?? but a quick online lookup on spec's for your model, shows this on all the sites I seen show the following, which IMOL< pretty much states it NOT a machine for lifting 2000 lbs, add in a Grapple, or a HD one might weight mroe than the standard OEM bucket, which, may effect the lift capacity!, and again, the lift ratings, are also, to tell you about the BUILD ratings on, things like lift arms, cylinders, and so on, so when your MAX lifting, your adding a lot of stress to things add in if NOT working on perfectly level ground, and your can tweak things when at max lift all the more so! Typically when I BUY anything, I buy so I am NOT using things at MAX ratings, IMO< doing so, and using all the time at MAX< will just shorten the life of the equipment, better to have extra than being at max , if you follow? Good news is, machines sell pretty quick these days and for top dollar, maybe , find yourself a larger machine and KNOW your safe and can do what you want with it!? just a suggestion, NO bash! Bobcat S175 spec's ( and like I said, I am sure we all go past rating some times, but that doesn;t mean its right or good for the machine or operator) , [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Lifting Capacity[/TD] [TD]1750 lbs[/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Lifting Capacity with Counter Weight[/TD] [TD]1850 lbs[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/QUOTE]
