well Johah
if you had read my post more carefully instead of looking for supporting bits inside the comments to support your ajenda here
you would see i was not personally or professionally saying "I" thought that was the best way to operate the lift. "I said" and i quote
"alot of accidents on lift trucks are due to operators not carrying the load correctly. I can only assume the mfg is just trying to idiot proof the situation forcing the operator to tilt back to insure load stability."

note i said "i assume"
that is not me stating fact, it is an assumption from information i could not verify or disclaim at the time i posted it.

Now instead of throwing out knee jerk reactions and picking apart what we say here to support your stance on this, might i suggest being less argumentative and more assertive with helpful comments? I mean seriously now.. you are now attacking anyone that has an opposing opinion whether its warranted or not and manipulating their comments from this discussion to suit whatever it is YOU are trying to achieve here.

I've said enough and will not be responding to these type comments any longer.

Have a nice day :o)
