The difference in the Bobcat page stuff is likely that Bobcat publishes the tested figure -- that is, the T190 may actually tip at 6951. Bobcat can rate its machine at anything lower than that. So instead of calling the T190 the T240, which is what it may be given its tip load, it "derates" it, so-to-speak, to make it into the T190.It doesn't necessarily do this for all models, but this appears to be the case. (Other manufacturers do it, too.)As for why track loaders are rated differently, I'm not entirely sure why. It's all described in the SAE J732 and J818 standards, and manufacturers more or less follow that standard.</blockquote>
