How to Figure Lifting Capacity on Skid Steer and Wheel Loaders

[@BobGorton]

Good informative explanation

For a skid steer, what's the best place to run some tie downs to a 1100lb home depot bulk gravel bag? The tip of the bucket might put too much weight out there, vs down the back of the bucket

[@WesternEquipment]

I would put them as close to the pivot point (where the bucket meets the loader frame) as possible to make sure you are taking advantage of the most lifting capacity.

So long story short a 333D CTL with 50% topping load at 4725 lbs would have no problem handling 3 3x4 bales at 4000-4500 lbs. Am I understand correctly?

Don't know why all these enormously expensive and valuable machines don't come standard with a remote operating station from outside the vehicle like waiting on wireless charging for something other than a cell phone I reckon.
