It means I think by one way or another they "de-tune" for lack of a better term the machines. I think that every machine out there will lift more then sec, push more, climb more hill....but the second some lawyer gets ahold of that and says hang on just a sec....lets move that down 200lbs it could save us millions in suits you know it happens.

Ridiculous theory, with completely flawed logic. They don't list specs for how much a tractor can push, or how steep of a hill it can climb, so those two are out. If things were driven by lawyers, they wouldn't make a machine that can lift more than the listed specs, they'd make the machine lift less by turning down the hydraulic pressure, so you would be less likely to make a mistake that would roll it. That would also make for less wear and tear, and fewer warranty claims, so it's a win-win situation for the company.

A policy of intentionally publishing lower specs would also be terrible from a marketing perspective, and with the Internet, they know people do a lot of research.
