It's a real-world overload test, not a spec breakdown or buying guide, and he explicitly says not to try it. The actual land plane work is saved for a separate video. Best for current RK55 owners curious about real-world loader limits, not shoppers wanting specs.
Posted by the Outdoors With The Morgans channel, an owner sharing hands-on, informal experiments with his own tractor on his own property.
Yes, in this test it lifted a roughly 4,800-pound red oak log, more than double its rated lift capacity, a couple feet off the ground with no damage.
The owner says no, he does not recommend it, and warns to only lift a little off the ground and move very slowly if attempted.
The owner estimated it at around 4,800 to 4,850 pounds, based on it being 39 inches at the big end, 37 inches small end, and 10 feet long.
