Operating Suggestions for Loading
When handling heavy loads, be sure to lower lift arms slowly. This is known as feathering the hydraulic lever. If load is lowered too fast and stopped suddenly, excessive shock loads are created which can damage loader or tractor.
When loading bucket, drive straight into material. Attempting to turn tractor while loading bucket can cause damage to both the loader and tractor.
Come in level:
NOTE: Bottom surface of bucket is parallel to line on motion
Work both levers back to direct pressure to both cylinders.
Combined action of lift and bucket cylinders increases loading efficiency.

A straight bottom offers more resistance to lift.
To increase loading efficiency, minimize angle of turn and length to run between pile and spreader.
Leave material which drifts over side of bucket for final
