Tranzam,
I've pushed, moved upwards of 4500 lbs pallets with my 765 bobcat. 150% of the tip load, and 300% of the lift load! I've even on some uphills, gotten the 4500 lb load to ride off the ground!
I've even used my 1 yd light material bucket to move a friggen yard of crushed rock! That gets kinda fun. Along with changing my shorts due to being brown taking a 4K pallet off the side of a trailer. Sometimes it goes down slow....others not so slow!
So your point about overloading the tires.....just a couple or three or more times......of losing track of finners and toes being overloaded. Sometimes even that many times a day.......
i've owned the 765 since new in 99, had a case 1835 before that. now I just have fun on the 765 and my tbo15 mini back saver excavator! I can put both on my equipment trailer and tow both to a job site. Remove the trackhoe from the front sideways to the ground. Wish the trailer was 2-3000lbs heavier on the axels, and 4-6' longer, then I could put the extra bucket and forks in the front, along with other tools I use too! Maybe someday, but right now, not doing as much landscaping as I used to, so probably will not buy a bigger trailer.
