    If they ain’t gonna sand and paint it, why bother?

    Course they must be still involved in it. As rough as the lease roads are, that thick mud would have fallen out by now if it had been in there very long.

    Probably, but that might be pushing it for constant use. The breakout force on the lift of ours with a General Purpose bucket (force at the cutting edge) is 6444 lbs., which would be probably better than half way out the length of the forks. With that same bucket the tipping load is 7553 lbs. The tipping load with 48" pallet forks is 5633 lbs.

    So yes, I think it would do it ok, but if you are handling that weight consistently for hours per day I suspect a bigger machine would be better.

    An e-model weighs 3000 lbs add 800 for retarder. So yer fine right at 3800 lbs. I use a 5000 lb forklift with boom and 4 brake drums hanging off the back when I swing an engine. Steering gets real easy but it works !

    That reminds me of a mine site.
    1/2 hr safety video, Emergency next of kin form. Hi vis PANTS... Spill kit...
    Hazards on at all times.
    Get in the back and the skid loader is just a wee bit to small. What do they do?
    Hang two guys on the back for ballast.
    Lol.
