Thank you johnr I.; I have one year less than you but still active. I hear what you're saying but would like to use your suggestion to find out the opinions of the manufactures.
I have a few spec sheets here in my office and for drawbar pull the first three show the following.
* Yale/Hyster
o 120VX/7,000 lbs draw bar
* MCFA/Cat/ Mitsubishi
o DP50KN1/6,000 lbs drawbar
* Taylor
o TX160/14,360 lbs drawbar
Monday I'll contact each and ask what their interpretation is for their specification pertaining to drawbar pull. I'll share the findings should be interesting.
