How much load have you tried?

I was moving pallets of shingles last weekend.

I know I was moving more than 2000# with the forks, as I had to put many bundles of shingles in the back to keep most of the rear wheels on the ground /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif.

I also thought one of the front tires was going to blow.

The front lift has some kind of bypass I found out, because the hydraulics would not lift the initial load I presented it with.

The strength of this machine is very impressive.

What is the heaviest thing any of you have successfully moved?

So far for me that's huge old telephone/utility poles with large circumferences and some length to them; I grabbed them with my root rake brush grapple and successfully lifted and/or moved them.

I believe A and B series Toolcats can lift over 2,000+ pounds to 48" while the C-series can lift 2,000+ pound pallets 60" high. The ROC is 1500 pounds at full lift height of 84" and the tipping load is 3,000 pounds without ballast in bed or rear.
