Pile dirt on high side for easier backfilling on a slope.

HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS

1.Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rectangular bales, logs and oil drums is not recommended.

2.Handling large heavy objects can be extremely dangerous due to:

Danger of tractor rolling over.

Danger of up-ending tractor.

Danger of object rolling or sliding down loader arms onto operator.

3.If you must perform above work, protect yourself by:

Never lifting load higher than necessary to clear ground when moving.

Ballasting tractor rear to compensate for load.

Never lifting large objects with equipment that does not have an anti-rollback device.

Moving slowly and carefully, avoiding rough terrain.

Tilt bucket forward while lifting to maintain bucket angle.
