Can a Bobcat T550 pick up a 4,600lb log and set it on a trailer? Relatively flat and hard ground.
The tipping load is 5792lbs. It seems like these loaders are strong enough to lift until the back comes off the ground, but I am new at all of this. I was wondering if under ideal conditions a T550 could do it, carefully.Performance

Its a big beautiful hickory log off a tree blown over during Hurricane Ida. I counted the growth rings as best as I could and I think it's about 115 years old. The log is 13ft long, and solid to the core, so I thought it might be a real jewel for making a couple of conference tables. However, I could cut it into two sections, maybe 8ft and 5ft and still have some impressive slabs for dining tables etc. Thanks for the suggestion.I don't know anything about mill requirements for logs they accept, but could you also just cut the log in half for hauling (so you would only have to lift, in effect, half the log at a time).
