This is in reference to the "Quad bike forklift for US farmers" article posted in today's newsletter.
I'm looking at this thing (the photo) and am struggling to determine what purpose it is intended to serve or if it even works at all. Can you really lift 3,000 lbs without tipping forward? Granted, there are some very heavy farmers out there, but are they counting on a 400 lb farmer to act as a counterweight?

And the loss of ground clearance for the attachment seems to defeat the purpose of an all terrain vehicle.

And then the comment "had sold up to 1,000 quad bikes with forks attached" seems a little fishy. I mean did they sell 1,000 or not? Technically, selling none would fit into the "up to" statement.

Maybe this is an early Aprils Fools joke.
Someone please enlighten me.
