[QUOTE="cdmccul, post: 123466, member: 9318"] I will say that I've only maxed out my lift cylinders once where I heard the relief valves give. It was moving snow higher than my machine, and I was trying to roll the pile over to make more room. I've had other times where I couldn't lift, but they were times I was hooked under a lop of concrete, or under a root while pulling a stump. I don't think 300 pounds would have given me the edge. But that said, I don't push my machine to the limits. I do wish it had high flow hydraulics as an option. It would be nice to have a more standard 8 bolt wheel (mine are an implement 6 bolt... Not impossible to find, but impossible to find with skidder tires already installed. I do really think that a set of "over the tire" tracks would be nice. I have had my machine bottom out and dig ruts. Cab enclosure is a double edge sword. Lots of homemade cab doors installed out there in the wild, they work, but personally I'd make sure the door has "lift off" hinges so you can pop the door off quickly... It might be a matter of life and death to get the cab door off if the lift arms aren't fully down. [/QUOTE]
