When I started in the stairlift business, I bought a smaller Mahindra EMax 22 with a loader. I use it primarily for unloading stairlifts off semis at the end of my 450 ft. driveway. I typically order 5 lifts at a time. 5 lifts weigh right at 1000 lbs. They used to ship them on two pallets but recently changed that and now they come on a single pallet. Even with a 900 lb ballast on the rear of the EMax 22, it was more than a little scary lifting that 1000 lbs off the rear of a semi. It would work but you had to be very careful to make sure that you were as level as possible and go very slow. More than once I've had one of my rear tires come off the ground and even when a tire does not come up, you can tell that you are overloaded. So, I finally broke down and bought a slightly larger tractor. I found a great deal on a new 2021 Mahindra 1626. Loader lift capacity on the Emax 22 was 900 lbs. This one is 1560 lbs. I had the tires loaded with Rim Seal (beet juice) and I will also still have the ballast box that I used on the Emax so I should be good to go. Ended up buying it from a dealer about 5 hours away in Mt. Pleasant Mills, PA and they are delivering it so it won't be here until next Tuesday but I'm really looking forward to it. Bought it there because I got a fantastic deal and a great price on my trade,. Of course it's also coming with a set of 48" forks. Another advantage of this one is that it uses the skid steer type quick attach so it will be much easier to swap between bucket and forks. My Emax was not quick attach. My other few implements will work fine with this one. Bucket scraper, post hole digger, etc. This is not a picture of it but exactly the same tractor. They removed mine from the website when I bought it and before I downloaded the picture.

Upgrade at 6:30 this morning went bad. Had to restore from a backup from yesterday around 6:30. Anything posted after that time is lost. Please repost.
