That transit wont be that much. Our L2 H2 Transit Custom is 2,600kg max. That's pretty much with an empty van....

 

Either way, the setup is massively over ?. To the untrained eye at a glance it doesn't look hugely out of place unless you know what weight diggers just by looking.

Not so much overloaded, as nicely loaded, with no fuss, nor any clutch slipping/abuse just used a super low gear and let the wheels spin fractionally, I was moving the aggregate to prep the base for the relocated glasshouse, see images

I'd call that nicely balanced. Often do the same with my Kubota of similar size - good counterweight in the transport box!

The empty link box is generally enough to usefully use the loader, but once filled, much better, she would not actually lift the filled link box, but I had cunningly ramped it up in the pile, while filling,  and then using the hydraulic tipping ram, levered it a bit higher again, the 3pt linkage ram then "held" the weight.

I did drive canny btw!

I did however move a surprising amount, surprisingly fast, with no fuss.
