What happens here

The sales representative continues the tour, highlighting the rear hitch pin for towing and explaining the articulation lock mechanism used to keep the loader straight during transport. He then opens a side panel to reveal the battery, fuses, and a master kill switch, emphasizing its safety benefits. Inside the cab, the new pilot control system on the joystick is demonstrated, allowing for intuitive operation of loader functions. Other dashboard controls for climate, lights, and continuous hydraulics are also shown. Monty then explains the creeper pedal function, which allows for full hydraulic power at low ground speeds.
