I recently purchased a used PT1425. It has a set of home made forks on it that the previous owner used for moving picnic tables. I am not sure how he did it. I used it the other night to move a small engine around, approx 250 pounds. The rear got so light that it was almost impossible to get it to steer and going across the yard the machine tipped forward when I turned to the left tightly. I understand that the weight transfers as the wheelbase changes but it seems that this machine should be much more capable considering how strong the hydraulics are. The rear tires are new, should they be fluid filled? I have a few sets of bolt on garden tractor weights I could add also I wanted to ask the experts first. Thanks for your input!
