When the arms are parallel with the ground the bucket has moved to its furthest point out from the front axle.For a one time lift I would probably try it.  If you need to do this all the time, you need a larger machine.I was trying to move partial pallets of OSB with my 763.  I was surprised the a stack 16 inches tall was more than the loader would pick up.  That weight 4 feet out on the forks was just too much.</blockquote>
