Hi Kevin,

Yup !!! More dangerous then it needs to be.
A couple of jack stands under the mower and a 4x4 under the loader frame or even a piece of angle iron of appropriate length set on one of the loader arm cylinders to prevent it from coming down would make it a lot less dangerous and would help guarentee you being around the TBN for many years to come. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
