WHY SHOULD YOU BE CAREFUL WHEN USING A FRONT-END LOADER?
Tractors with front-end loaders are often involved in accidents. Adding a front-end loader changes the tractor’s centre of gravity. When a loader is raised, the tractor's centre of gravity is raised and moved forward. The tractor's stability is reduced; thus, increasing the chance of overturning. What should you do when using a FRONT-END loader?- Ensure that everyone is well back from the tractor when operating a front-end loader.
- Add recommended wheel ballast or counterweight according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
