An owner-operator sharing multi-year hands-on experience from their own property, with no apparent dealership or brand affiliation evident in the transcript.
The owner lifted a 1,885-lb dry weight generator. He says he would not want more than about 2,000 lbs on the forks before the rear end gets light.
Yes, the owner says it will move round bales in that range without a problem, though getting them nine feet high may reduce lift capacity.
A recall replaced some cab bolts, a pinhole leak appeared in the radiator overflow reservoir early on, and the rear wiper is described as terrible and aggravating.
Yes, the owner used a straight blade, box blade, snow pusher, snowblower, and loader bucket for snow removal and reports no complaints.
