Yup, they ship fast. I like Titan stuff. I think it is made overseas but they have the cheapest prices, free shipping, and it ships fast.

That's a good question. I honestly don't know. I carried a 200lb snow blower on mine no problem but then had a huge boulder in the bucket and it picked up the back end a little. Having weight out on the forks will only make it lighter in the back end -- so if you can put your carry all frame on there or your backblade.

Yeah I was thinking the back blade, With the pallet forks I can now go get a 500 pound pallet of feed for about half price of what we pay now. I believe the forks are 100 pounds so that would 650 or so with the pallet, back blade is 200, so that would leave a net weight on the front of 450 pounds, I'm wondering if that is to much

How high would you be lifting it? The higher you lift the less you can lift. If this is in the back of a truck and you are backing it out from the tailgate I think you could do it. Wouldn't hurt to try. Is the feed in bags on the pallet? For a test you could buy a pallet load and if it can't lift it you could pull a bag of feed off. 

Personally, I think you will be able to lift it, especially with weight on the back.
