Stef,
I kinda had the same thing happen about a week ago. I had a truck freight shipment brought to my house and had to unload out of the truck with my pallet forks. It weighed in at about 987lbs. We did take some of the weight off the pallet first to make two trips just to be safe....so if I had to guess it was about 750lbs. The B3030 lifted it just fine but on the way down with the loader I stopped suddenly and man you wanna talk about air time... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif The rear tires came up off the ground and bounced a few times. And that was with the backhoe and loaded rear tires. The lighter B3030 has its advantages but I would definitely stick to 600 lbs on the forks. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I think if I had to move a heavier load low to the ground I would attempt it and just go slow.
