Overview
This video zeroes in on a specific and commonly misunderstood spec: the difference between lift capacity measured "at the pin" versus 500mm forward of the pin, and why comparing those two figures across brands misleads buyers. Mike uses a real viewer question about a John Deere 4710 falling short of its rated capacity to walk through the math, then adds practical rules of thumb by frame size. Best for shoppers trying to decode loader specs before purchasing.
