How much can the John Deere 2420 rear 3-point hitch lift?

Is lift capacity enough to size implements for the John Deere 2420?
No. The John Deere 2420 may list the listed rear lift capacity of rear lift, but it also has 66 hp rear PTO power and 6,993 lb (3,172 kg) operating weight, which matter for powered and heavy implements.
