Together, they ac count for nearly one-third of all mishaps. One of the most common hazards related to these two categories is machine stability or more specifically, overturns. Basic design is usually the first faulty, factor. Today the majority of all farm equipment is designed and constructed to be used primarily in row crop operations. Because they are designed to provide higher crop clearances, they may be inherently less stable in utility situations as secondary use tools. In the case of front loaders, the ideal situation is to keep the bucket as low to the ground as possible. Keeping it low allows for a lower center ol gravity producing a potentially safer, more stable unit. Today, most farm machinery is designed by expert engineers, field-tested and built for a specific job. Each model has its own in dividual design capabilities. When human judgment or error forces equipment beyond its design limits, two things can happen. —First, the operator exposes himself to a potentially hazardous situation because the machine won’t function properly. —Secondly, improper use can lead to equipment damage. Both can be extremely costly. Here are some tips to follow when working with your loader: 1. Operate at low ground speed. 2. Keep bucket low when traveling over rough ground or on inclines. This maintains a lower, stable center of gravity. 3. Never carry riders in loader bucket. 4. Never use loader as portable scaffold. 5. Brace irregular loads such as large rocks to prevent shifting to outer edge and causing tractor to overturn. 6. Never work under raised loader without safety supports. 7. Be alert for ditches, rocks or holes that may cause the tractor to overturn.—DK York Co.
