had to go pick up some sand and stone for our new patio installation. 5 trips at 1000lbs each and 1 1500lb trip. With 1000lbs you could barely even tell it was there, 1500 braking and hill climbing were impacted but still no problem at all:icon_thumby:

i was ready to try a full ton of sand to see how it held up, but my dad said not to push it:dunno:

unloading the 1500lb load in the backyard
 
i usually carry 1600-1700 lbs on mine
have pushed it to 2000 a few times, not doing it again tho...
 
I had 1800 lbs of cinder block/concrete in mine today. Going over speed bumps I could feel the bump stops hitting the axle. Ranger's stop pretty good for carrying that kind of weight.
 
That will happen with that combination.
