Tractor stability and front end loaders

[nebraskasparks]

I plan on using this Title and adding/amending it as I gather more information. I plan to do the same with the thread "How to kill yourself without knowing". It's obvious that the TBN community wants more information on how to protect itself...and have a good argument now and then! I also plan to add input from the TBN community and come up with general rules of thumb that future members can reference. We can direct the new tractor owners to a piece of information that will save their hide versus an owners manual that is written by lawyers protecting their ASSets.


There is lots of information on ASABE...American Society of Agricultural and Biological engineers...for a pretty fat fee.

For starts here are a couple of articles found on Google for engineers in the TBN community. Lay people can make out the general implications without any difficulty. I couldn't upload them because of the restriction on memory for TBN.

The following article has a couple of good diagrams.

Maybe you could just post a link to the articles.
