I can see that with the longer bed it is easy to have the load not forward enough. The machine can certainly handle that load, it is just seems a bit too far back. I am always amazed at how well engineered RTV's are. I've had two over 11 years and, while I am respectful of the machine, I have asked it to do some hard work and never has it failed me. Between plowing snow, moving stone, gravel, loam, firewood and pulling boats out the Lake it has always performed well. Glad you seem to be enjoying putting your RTV to work.
