Overview
Prompted by a tractor-forum debate over whether the RK24's rated 947-lb lift capacity (at the pivot pin) is realistic, the owner loads the bucket with 2A limestone, works out the math using the stone's known weight per cubic yard and the bucket's 5.3-cubic-foot capacity, and lifts a heaped bucket on camera to show real-world performance. A practical, numbers-driven test, most useful to subcompact shoppers wondering how this machine handles genuinely heavy bulk material.
