He measures it, discusses backing downhill for safety over ridges, and shares impressions on real-world loader lift capacity versus expectations. Good for buyers curious about practical heavy-load performance rather than showroom numbers.

Yes, the owner successfully lifted a pecan stump nearly 12 feet around and 32-33 inches thick using pallet forks, saying the lift capacity exceeded his expectations.
He backed down because there were ridges to cross, and he worried the weight on the front could cause the back wheels to lift and the tractor to tip forward.
The stump was too large to fit the grapple around it, so he used the pallet forks instead, which also carry less weight than the grapple setup.
