Figure 4. Filling Bucket

lever back and toward you to lift and roll back the
bucket, Figure 5.
Figure 5. Single Handle Control
3. Lift and rollback bucket.
Figure 6. Lift and Rollback Bucket
The lift and rollback of the bucket will increase effi-
ciency because maintaining a level bucket throughout
the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases break-
away effort, Figure 6.
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not com-
pletely filled during each pass. Maximum productivity is
determined by the amount of material loaded in a given
period of time. Time is lost if two or more attempts are
made to fill the bucket on each pass.
Lifting Load
Do not attempt to lift loads in excess of the
loader capacity.
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to
avoid spillage, Figure 7.
Figure 7. Lifting Load
Carrying Load
Position the bucket just below the level of the tractor
hood for maximum stability and visibility, whether the
bucket is loaded or empty, Figure 8.

Operating on a Slope
AVOID INJURY OR DEATH FROM ROLLOVER
ACCIDENTS:
• Move and turn tractor at less than 6 mph (10
km/h).
• Watch for hidden hazards such as holes,
ditches, and other obstructions which may
cause tractor and loader to tip over.
• Carry loads close to the ground to aid visibil-
ity and lower center of gravity for improved sta-
bility.
• Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed
