That looks too heavy for your poor tractor. And it probably is dangerous. You should send it to me for proper disposal.

My dk40 loader is rated at about 2750 at a he pins (not 10 feet out). I've got a 1000 pound gill Boxblade on the back. I'm hoping I can pick an aluminum boat lift up over our 3 foot sea wall. The lift weights between 550-600 pounds. I operate bucket trucks with jibs, digger derricks and backyard machines (setting poles etc.) for a living, so I realize the danger of tipping over my tractor.

It was a joke.

I'd mount a chainsaw at the end of that and do some tree trimming.
