When I grew up loaders on tractors were rare. Had a manual trip manure bucket loader on a 135MF was something special. Loaders are more common now and also are accidents. Don’t think loader cylinder locks were designed for a working load. Man lifts, bucket trucks and telehandlers often have pilot check valves to prevent collapse from a hydraulic line failure. My tractors don’t have that.
For safety equipment to work properly it helps to be easy and available. I added fire extinguishers, mirrors, grill guards, chainsaw and chain holders to improve operational safety. Decades of farming, construction, industrial work experience knows its wrong to be underneath a loader without securing it. I’ve used ratchet straps and chains to secure loaders up for major engine work because of lack of a proper loader cylinder lock.
Hopefully have time this winter to attempt to make a loader cylinder lock for the B26.
Work safe.
