Can a LS MT225s lift concrete slabs?

[@metalmetz]

Looks like it worked pretty well for this project!

[@Ryans_Rural_Living]

It does!

[@johnmckinnon44]

Do you need to take off the 3pt hitch arms to attach the backhoe on that tractor?

[@Ryans_Rural_Living]

Arms yes but the pin can stay in on the 225s without taking the tires off everytime

It looked like it did lift it, but the slab was longer than the forks, therefore gravity forced it slip off the forks.

[@Jtwizzle]

Yeah, if it were more compact size piece it could lift it. Weight is so far out in front.

Why wouldn’t you just use a concrete breaker attachment and load the pieces out like normal or just stage until you’re ready to load out in small pieces. Dumps only take 2’x2’ pieces. Plus sunbelt would not like you using their equipment as you did just saying.

Had a breaker on site, concrete wasnt reinforced and was cracked up pretty good already and broke apart fairly easily otherwise i wouldve put the breaker on there. Seemed more efficient with time this way. I had to stage the blocks because it was a sunday and the dump by me wasnt open, but the one by me does take larger sections, anything that little tractor could carry was plenty small enough for that dump.

You can bet people beating the snot out of the machines is factored into the rent price. He was more gentle than most rentals I see in use.
