TRACTOR & SAFETY POINTERS The use of good judgment and common sense is necessary by the operator in using this loader. The front and rear wheels should be set for the widest wheel tread to assure best stability. Use extra caution when rear wheel weights and tire ballast are added to a loader-equipped tractor.
