Will Ford 3910 be ok to lift 500kg log splitter?

[Pilatus]

I have just purchased a Ford 3910 H to lift and power a vertical log splitter which weighs just over 500kgs. Do you think I will need to put some front end weights on the tractor,if so which model of Ford front weights will also fit the Ford 3910 H. Many thanks.

Hitch it up and you will soon find out. Probably depends how near the tractor it's carried and if any road trips are to be undertaken?

Should do easily. When new a 26/3610 had a lift capacity of 1400kg. (When new)

It's the equivalent of a 500 l. sprayer like a little Jarmet, or a varispreader with 1 bag in it, so I would have thought it would handle it fine. My old IH434 lifts the sprayer and spreader without any issues and he's a bit smaller and older.

Should handle it with ease IMO; be very surprised if you have any problems or need any front weights.

The tractor is just the job, but I could do with some front end weight as very light on the front when splitter lifted. Please can someone let me know if any "Ford" front end weights were available for the 3910 as an extra.

Yes!

You can get front wheel weights.

I have a brand new weight carrier I bought to go on a 3000 but never fitted it, I believe there were some smaller sized hook on weights available.

That's the right 10 series weights for a 3910 doesn't say whether there's a bracket though
