Front-end loaders are indispensable attachments for compact tractors. Loaders make light work of small farm and gardening tasks including lifting and transporting material such as wood, rocks, soil and debris. While loaders may assist in completing daily tasks, they can be dangerous if basic safety precautions are not followed. As with any piece of equipment, operators should become familiar with front-end loader functions and maintenance, and avoid situations that may lead to injury.

General Know​ledge Always read and follow the manufacturer provided operator’s manual before using a front-end loader. Although many units have similar features, there may be safety and operation features unique to each loader attachment. If the operator’s manual cannot be found, obtain a replacement by contacting the equipment manufacturer or a local dealer. A tractor and the attachments are unable to control their own operation and rely on the operator to be responsible and safety conscious. Avoid Rollovers.
