Ensure Proper Ballast for Stability

What happens here

The presenter explicitly states that when lifting heavy items, such as 600-800 pound hay bales, the tractor must be properly ballasted. This means having appropriate counterweight attached to the rear of the tractor (e.g., a backhoe attachment, ballast box, or weighted tires) to maintain stability, prevent the front wheels from lifting, and ensure effective steering and braking while loading and transporting materials.

Goal: When handling heavy loads with the front-end loader, always ensure the tractor is properly counterbalanced with sufficient weight at the rear to maintain stability and prevent tipping.
