Load carrying capacity

From the Bobcat website. http://www.bobcat.com/publicadmin/viewArticle.html?id=4161

463 -> 700-lb. (318-kg) rated operating capacity

553 -> 950-lb. (431-kg) rated operating capacity

S130 -> 1,300-lb. (590-kg) rated operating capacity

S150 -> 1,500-lb. (680-kg) rated operating capacity

S160 -> 1,600-lb. (726-kg) rated operating capacity

Did some quick googling for something closer to the target lift capacity of 3000-lb. Found these...

Mustang 3300V Skid Steer Loader (3300-lb) -> http://www.mustangmfg.com/products/SkidSteer/3300VSkidSteerLoader.aspx

Case SV300 ALPHA SERIES SKID STEER LOADER (3000 lb) -> http://www.caseconstruction.com.au/sv300

Terex TSV-80 Skid Steer Loader (3000 lb) http://www.terex.com/construction/en/products/new-equipment/compact-track-skid-steerloaders/skid-steer-loaders/tsv80/index.htm

Max Lifting Height

Found this info from the Bobcat website. http://www.bobcat.com/publicadmin/viewArticle.html?id=4161

463 -> 7-ft., 11-in. (95") (2.4-m) lift height

553 -> 8-ft., 8-in. (104") (2.6-m) lift height

S130 -> 9-ft., 2-in. (110") (2.8-m) lift height

S150 -> 9-ft., 7-in. (115") (2.9-m) lift height

S160 -> 9-ft., 7-in. (115") (2.9-m) lift height

So 115" is at the top of this range, and looks doesn't look like an unreasonable target.
