12/12/2023 0 Comments Mini off road forklift![]() Like everything, right tool for the right job, a tractor by design is not a really a good loader, but will function as one clearly. I think the L-series ( shown ) is rated at 1100 at 24" but Im working from memory ( not safe ). Im guessing you looked at a (smaller ) BX model, to the untrained eye, all the Kubotas look alike, kinda. Mostly it moves 350 gallon totes of split and stacked hardwoods around ( have acres that I collect the firewood off of, some of it, is up to a 1/2 mile of wood trails behind the house ). I have the same L series Kubota, I move up to 1200lbs with regularity. Tore up to much, and the pitching moment going over bumps and such was miserable not to mention the complete lack of visibility to the rear or sides. Lasted two days and we were back to using a tractor with a front end loader. I would only recommend a skid steer with fork to my enemies.ĭad and I tried it with our 743 bobcat to pick hay out off the fields with a hay grapple. Some call them an integrated tool carrier if they can trade attachments. The best off road forklift imho that won’t tear up sod is a mini articulating loader with a SSQA plate and forks. Thank god they never ran the 50k or 80k truck off the pavement. If it was a larger 15k truck even the 25k truck wouldn’t pull them out at times, had to get the 966 cat loader out. Where I used to work at least once a month I would have to rescue a forklift driver that got his steers off the pavement. As others mentioned that tow motors with pneumatic tires, even duals suck off pavement or deep packed gravel, it’s not the drive wheels but the steer tires with the counterweight over them unloaded. They don’t have the turning radius that a warehouse style tow-motor has. Most rough terrain forklifts suck in a building. Most today have more in common with loader backhoes but still use either R4 tires that work better in packed dirt or gravel or R1 AG tires that work better on softer dirt or grass but will leave indents in it if soft. Rough terrain forklifts started out as ag tractors with the diff flipped and the operator station turned 180. What are you calling all terrain forklift? Ie a link to a picture as I have never seen atv tires on a forklift nor would they have any useful load. If your dedicated to moving stuff around outside, you cant be a skid loader. Now I have a compact Kubota tractor ( with forks ) outside and a really Nissan Forklift in the shop. I lost the hyster in a life re-ordering event. The big win here is, its got 3 wheels, a triangle will put up with all kinds of crazy uneven ground, you cant even talk about running a regular 4 wheel pneumatic tire forklift on. Pneumatic tires, so its happy inside and out. Its light enough I could transport with my one ton on my car trailer. I think it might be rated for 2,000, its a light " truck " also used it remotely at auctions, buying shop equipment ( removing it from sellers palce ), I moved some lathes/mills, ect. It was very old and very worn, but did more than I ever needed. I was sure something was wrong with it, but I had 8yrs of reliable years of service out of it. ![]() Gave $1750 for it from a forklift dealer !!! (mostly because of its age, he was just blowing down the road, it was a trade in ) with almost brand new rubber, new paint and new seat. I bought a nice used Hyster H20? It was a 3 wheeler.
