HANDLING LARGE HEAVY OBJECTS
1. Using front end loaders for handling large heavy objects such as large round or rect angular b ales, 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.
