[QUOTE="Fabricator, post: 120207, member: 1349"] Not necessarily. Lift capacity is more than just stability. Think about lifting something with your own arms. There will be a point where whether you are strapped down or otherwise supported, your muscles just won't be able to lift any more weight. Same with hydraulics. The pressures involved to lift the weight are more than the pumps and cylinders are capable of and for safety, I'd tend to want that to happen before the machine starts tipping. As mentioned, a tracked machine adds stability and it's likely you reach the hydraulic capacity before an instability capacity on level stable ground. As mentioned, the question would be whether the machine is able to lift its rated capacity. A T190 has an operating load of 1900#. Try to lift a known ton with it. The tree puller isn't a good indication of capacity because it is hard to determine the forces required to pull a specific tree depending on soil, tree species (type of roots), root condition, and other factors. You may have two trees that look pretty identical, but due to roots and soil they may require much different forces to pull them out. [/QUOTE]
