What happens here

The host instructs Alex on the proper configuration for 'roading' (driving on public roads) a TLB. This involves lifting the front loader bucket approximately 12 to 18 inches off the ground and bringing the backhoe boom in and up, tucked closely to the machine but below the cab. This ensures the machine is compact, has good visibility, and prevents the backhoe from swinging excessively during travel. You also need good clearance on your backhoe bucket.

Goal: Properly configure the TLB for safe and legal road travel.

so I'm going to jump in here with a big red flag so now this is the stage where it's gonna take a little bit of muscle memory but I want to caution you that sometimes the bucket can actually scoop all the way into the boom arm so be very careful while you're first getting familiar with the controls now back to your regularly scheduled program boom controls up down in out the left stick go ahead just got to get used to and [Applause] the next thing we're doing into the road
