Overview
An owner-operator's hands-on take focused on one specific question: does rated lift capacity actually tell you what a loader can do in real work? Using large logs as test material, he demonstrates the LA525's real-world capability and limited curl-back travel, then argues why higher-rated competing loaders aren't necessarily better choices for a small tractor. Useful for shoppers trying to decode loader specs.
