        I have a FarmPro model 2425 tractor-(24 HP).I cannot find out how much weight the rear 3 point connection with a carry all or boom pole can safely lift. The front loader has around an 850 lb. capacity. Does anyone know how much the rear can lift and carry? I need to move some large pieces of concrete across my property to put into place for flood control measures and the front bucket won't move some of the pieces. Maybe I shouldn't try to do this type of job with this tractor? Any advice or info please?

          It's rated for 875 lbs but that's at the lift arms not at the end of a pole etc.  You may need more machine than you have for the job.

            That's what I feared. Another person outside of the CTOA community suggested I use a boom pole at the 3 point end and counter balance the tractor with a larger piece in the loader for balance. That somehow seemed like uneducated advice, but it made me ask the question. Thanks for the quick reply. Mickey Paul
