Summit TX25 - Pallet Fork Lift Test

Testing out my Summit TX25 with my Artillian Pallet Forks to see how much weight I can lift.

Love the video. Currently have a deere 3025e. The loader drops like a rock when trying to lower it. It looked like you had no trouble lowering this loader.

Keep up the videos. I subbed and am looking forward to see how the Summet holds up.

I think that tractor is a hell of a beast for what it is

[@powrguy1696]

You re-posted yesterday's video? I commented yesterday, about closer-to-the-pivot pin allowing more lift. I also commented that it's impressive, and the self-leveling really is a great feature, too.

Ya the first 15 seconds I deleted since I messed up and restarted talking. Thought I cut that out but my wife caught it last night 😂

@@McClureMadeOutdoors LOL. Didn't notice that in that first video. Keep 'em comin'.

Watching your videos has got me wanting a self leveling loader bad….

[@johnpyle8027]

Me too! I have aTYM T 25 rated at 1400 in in the bucket and I'm still a little jerky.

[@wildbill23c]

@@johnpyle8027 The jerky feeling is pretty normal on a lot of tractors especially when you start getting closer to max capacity...the loader on my sub-compact is extremely hard to control when I start getting closer to the max lift capacity. Although, it would help a lot if I get a ballast box to have the tractor properly ballasted for the loader work. I think a lot of the jerkiness with my setup is due to not having enough ballast so it shakes the tractor around quite a bit, but its only when lowering a load when you are trying to lower the loader boom and tilt the bucket or forks at the same time that it gets really bad...but I think some of that would go away once I get my ballast box.

I'd sure like one. Too bad they are dragging there feet getting these out across the country. Can't wait any longer gonna have to go with another brand. Keep the videos coming......

ITL makes a very similar tractor sold in the States as Solis… plenty of you tube vids about them too etc. cheers.

Summit TX25 size and hp makes it very limited on what it can do and the size attachments it can handle. I have a New Holland TN70A 70hp that wieghts around 8000lbs and lift capacity of around 3000lbs and I still feel it has limits and it does. Always buy a tractor a little larger than you think you need. 35hp to 50hp is good range. Get a 50hp tractor if you have space to operate it and the money.

[@terrylutke]

Lift capacity hits a hard wall fairly close to spec, via a pressure relief valve probably. That's a good thing, although PSI is possibly tweakable at the loader valve body.

Thanks for your content and let us know that you don't have to depend on John Deere that a good looking tractor good display of tractor power

[@kevindowd7769]

The lift height dropped as the weight went up… but it looked like the drop was actually the front tires compressing or flattening out… it looked like the arms lifted all the way up to the stops.

[@JoseOrtiz-zb7gq]

Awesome

[@wildbill23c]

If those rear tires weren't liquid filled, you would have tipped that tractor over for sure LOL. I don't have anything in the tires on my sub-compact tractor because I occasionally use it to mow with so I want to keep it light as possible and just be able to add weight to the rear when needed using a ballast box, which I have yet to get because for some reason the dealer seems to think they're worth $800+...so looking around for a much cheaper option somewhere else. With my sub-compact tractor and pallet forks of unknown weight (they're titan compact tractor 42" forks and frame)...way more weight than a sub-compact set of pallet forks, but unfortunately unable to obtain the correct ones...I'm only able to lift 400-500 pounds....and that is with the roto-tiller on the 3 point as ballast....I would be much more comfortable with 500 pounds on the back....the tiller only weighs about 300 pounds according to Land Pride...so a couple hundred pounds shy of what the recommended 500 pound ballast weight by the tractor manufacturer.....so a ballast box will be a must, but the tractor picks up more than I thought it would, and would pickup more if I had the sub-compact tractor pallet fork setup instead of the pallet fork setup for a larger tractor...I think the Titan setup I have is in the neighborhood of 220-240 pounds....which, the sub-compact fork setup is closer to 180 pounds, so I lost a lot of lift capacity, the only thing is the sub-compact fork setup only has 32" forks...and I don't think you can swap forks around between different brands, otherwise if I could find a sub-compact fork frame I'd swap the 42" forks over as I kind of like the longer forks sometimes if I am moving around full size pallets.

You can run a rod through a 55 gallon drum and fill it with concrete/gravel/sand or even water and add a spigot at the bottom to drain. That's about the cheapest ballast I know of. Or get a cheap old toolbox and fill it with concrete, leaving the top two inches empty to store a few tools, pins, chains, etc
