Quite a rock

A bit of advise, never lift you loader that high when carrying something that heavy. High centre of gravity can cause you BIG problems.

I had it that high knowing I was at risk, but couldn't keep it in the bucket down low. Not smart, I knew it when I was making my turn, I could feel it which is why I told my wife to stay clear.

4-500 pound rock. i think the max could handle at least 2 of those. or am i wrong.

No way could I have lifted two. My front end would have been on the ground. I think the rock was a lot more than 400#

I agree. I'm thinking this is a granite rock? Depending on density anywhere from 165-200 lbs per cubic foot.

Yep, it is granite all right. 24x20x20" give or take. That is about 4 cft. All I know is it was one heavy son of a gun and I would not want to go any larger even if the loader would probably lift a little more.

Well towards the end of the video you can see the rear tire lift off the ground. I think that qualifies as "not good". :thumbdown: But knowing your limits is good. :thumbsup:

Nice to know what what my Max 25 might be able to do.

Thanks for posting videos..but... I can't possibly see how that video could be anymore "shaky" than it was.

Yep, the quality sucks, you take that up with my wife!

And to the previous poster, I certainly wasn't tying to put myself in that situation. I knew I was in a bad spot hence the quick release once I realized I was in trouble.
