So you sell VN machines?

But anyway, NO there is no way that the arms bent by handling "brush". Unless he considers 15ft long 15" diameter oak trees brush!! Im suprised that the pressure relief did not pop before the arms bent? I guess it could have been a weak weld or spot in the steel, but he still was moving more than brush in my opinion.

Maybe he was turning sharp with a load and it caught something w/o pics its hard to decide was it the loader or the mount that bent?

These loaders are made to lift and are not necessarily super strong on sideways loads just thinking out loud. hth
