Transmission fluid overflows out of breather cap when moving loads.

When this machine warms up and starts moving heavy loads the transmission oil starts to come out the breather cap. Tried changing the oil (Dex 3) but problem still continues.

This machine is used outdoors and loads are lifted off the ground. Nothing is being pushed with this machine.

what is the oil level?
when cold? (before work)
when hot? (after use)

since you check the oil with it running have you checked inside the dipstick tube to see if there is any foaming when it starts coming out?
