Always make sure the lever to lock an implement onto the QA'a is in the locked position before lifting the loader. If you get in the habit of doing it before you might get distracted and possibly forget, it will keep you safe of an implement dropping off when lifted. I use a Bungie now too, to make sure I lock it and 'suspender' it, since I did forget recently, and could have dropped my 400# grapple on myself. I'm going to make a sign to attach to the grapple to tell me to check the lock so I see it when I get on the tractor. It only takes once missed, we don't always get second chances.....
Enjoy the tractor. take it slow. Use medium for most work, low for hard slow work and High for travel on the road. 4 x 4 for most where extra traction is needed, (engage BEFORE moving), and locking diff, in a straight line only, when spinning wheel(s) in 4 x4 for last ditch to get out of same. Keep center of gravity low and look at the loader when lifting; don't continue lifting if backing up, or with full bucket of anything. Keep loader bucket as low as possible to maneuver a load and no sharp fast turns.:thumbsup:
