The owner runs the test himself, tracks actual weights, and honestly flags his makeshift ballast and unloaded rear tires as limiting factors. Useful for 2515h owners curious whether the loader lives up to its rated 2,200-lb capacity.
Posted by the Projects With Paul channel, where the host appears to be an owner-operator conducting hands-on tests on his own property.
Yes, the owner tested it with a water tote and Titan forks totaling over 2000 pounds and the tractor picked it up without problem, though the back end came off the ground some.
Yes, proper ballast is a must, along with loaded rear tires, since the owner's makeshift ballast and unloaded tires caused the back end to lift during the heaviest test.
Titan pallet forks rated at 4000 pounds, which have way more capacity than the tractor itself.
