JoeM 7,871 #29 Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) John Deere had some kind of protective device on it's early small loaders. They extended the towers up a few feet. Kind of odd, at first I was thinking it was to protect the operator from an item in the bucket rolling back. Now I am thinking it was some kind of ROP?? I nice thing about your machine is the low centered weights in the rear. Edited October 28, 2022 by JoeM 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,057 #36 Posted October 28, 2022 When I took a Fork Truck Operator Safety Course we were taught that you MUST WEAR a seat belt. The cage would protect you from falling objects, and roll over, but your best chance of avoiding serious injury or death is STAY IN THE SEAT, and hold on tight to the steering wheel. If you try to jump off, you would most likely be crushed. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
