When bucket or grapple is full, keep the load as low to the ground as possible.
These aren't forklifts on level ground.

No matter what anyone tells you, you'll learn the hard way, lol. Just one high load on slightly uneven ground, try and make a turn, and you'll lift a rear wheel off the ground and scare the shit out of yourself. Happens quick.

I did test that a little yesterday with a pile of brush.
I took it high & did a few jerks to see if I could ollie.

Also- start logging hrs & maintenance in a notebook now. You'll quickly lose track otherwise even though you're positive you'll remember. Make it a habit and be religious about it, if you do that thing will last longer than you do.

My first "holy shit" moment was when I had a bucket full of gravel. I was almost on 2 wheels when I dropped the bucket.
