[QUOTE="busted_knuckles, post: 53766, member: 888"] Flyerdan does make a solid point, Im clueless with the math, and what it would take to flip a small machine over, @ 12' with a 1000lbs, that's an engineering equation, anyhow, seat of the pants, my machine I think is in the 7k+ range for weight and lifts almost to 12'. I think it will lift around 2k pounds to that height, and it feels like anything less than stable. I should add my machine has the optional factory rear weight kit. Not sure how light a compact is, or how small the wheelbase, but hes right about the potential math, of it wanting to flip if you get the angle to far back or forward. My neighbor is putting hay in a barn, with his, which is under 500lbs per pallet, and his machine is full size, but not the largest either. Hes not the safest guy out there either ! Not sure why he does not use a hay or grain elevator. I think I need to ask that question, Im guessing he cant get one to that barn due to obstructions, for I know he has a hay elevator. [/QUOTE]
