Went with a buddy of mine to pick up a free oak tree from treefolks. At least 6 foot tall oak. Bungeed it to the rack, wrapped cheap battery xmas lights on it, and away we went. We were headed back to his house, but the tree looked so good and rode so well that we ended up adding about 6 miles to our ride for kicks.

Had right at 1400 total lbs on my pedicab a few years ago, hauling family members for our state track and field expo. Most weight I have ever carried. Although lots of crazy weight loads during our Republic of Texas Biker Rally.
