If I remember correctly, the TL140 only "actually" pulled about 6800lbs even though it was heavier than the SR80 which I think actually 7400-7600lbs. The rear weight distribution of the Takeuchi machines is far far worse than most of the other machines. If you ever get a chance to see the video that ASV made you will see exactly what I mean. i used to tell potential customers to try driving both the T250/T300 up a hill and then do the same thing with the TL150 and the TL150 would always fall back on its butt well before the Bobcat because I'm willing to bet that almost 75-80% of its weight in in the rear of the machine. Order the video from ASV and you'll see what I'm saying. By the way I think that Takeuchi makes a better machine than Bobcat even though I sold them. I just think you have some facts mixed up.
