I am thinking of adding some counter weight to my Komatsu PC75uu2.
Reasoning, factory bucket set up is designed around 990 lbs. payload (.33 cubic yds)
Mine has a thumb and amulet quick connector. Adding around 250 lbs for both.
As well I have a 36 in dig bucket that has a .55 cubic yd capacity which when calculated at the same rate means a potential of an
Additional 660 lb payload.
I have lifted and moved a 2085 lb weighed bundle of steel at full extension from the ground level from the bucket teeth. She gets a little light in the tail but I could still move to where I needed to bring the load in closer.
Thinking of adding the equivalent of the thumb n quick connector.
Aprox 250 lbs.
Any thoughts on this and have any of you done this?
Thanks!
