Lifting capacity of 3 pt linkage on 440

Post by AlanW » Mon Jan 30, 2017 3:25 am

Hi

I find that the 3pt linkage on my 440 JD Lanz with 3 cylinder diesel Perkins, has far more downward force ie can lift the back of the crawler if not careful. Than lifting capacity struggles with 350kg upwards.
I assume the Lanz 440 has similar performance to the USA built model.

Any thoughts on the above are welcome.
regards

Hi,

That would be correct as it is meant to be used with digging implements.

That seems light on lift capacity, check your system pressure.
Cylinder has more push than pull is why the difference.
