Quick question lads just wondering,
when yere driving a tractor with a front loader with no implement on the road, would ye have the loader up or down?
Mate of mine was inching out of a blind gate onto a small road. Loader not quite up far enough.Loader down with bucket or nothing on it . Up with bale grab turned down . But no safer having up or down at a crossroads or coming out a gate . Yes with loader up you can go out further with out fear of a car but not a truck . As a neighbour found out , when the brother was passing in a truck . Thankfully missed the cab but done €3000 worth of damage to the cattle body .
This is the answer and by the book you shouldn't have an implement on a loader when on the road. I do the same as @massey 6480 above unless I have the trunk on and then it is down too. Sticks out a fair bit.down
Down all the time except when approaching junctions, know of a case where a lad was exiting a field onto a busy road, very blind both ways but had the loader well up but as he inched out 2 trucks were coming from opposite sides, he got clipped and capsized and a lot of damage.

Word on the street is that the side brake pedals were uncoupled and one wheel locked up when pedal was pressed.Road looked like it had diesel or oil on it?
Fairly sure the 4wd sensor is on the right hand peddle, so that would make sense.Word on the street is that the side brake pedals were uncoupled and one wheel locked up when pedal was pressed.
Got a fright myself with uncoupled pedals a year or so ago, smoked up one rear wheel. Very dangerous. I was driving a Deere and I don’t think front brakes activated.
It’s a bit of a design fault you could say really isn’t it? The 4wd sensor should be on both I would have said.Fairly sure the 4wd sensor is on the right hand peddle, so that would make sense.

Not wanting to go off on a tangent but what have some fendts dropped the spilt brakes and hanbe only one pedal ?is it not normally the case that both pedals have to be pressed together for 4wd to cut in, otherwise it would be constantly going into 4wd if trying to use the brakes independently which more or less would make it pointless having split brakes
I’m not sure on that but possibly, split breaks on large tractors with the likes of 710’s they are probably of quite limited use. I think new holland had a design at one point for a single pedal with abs and then with 2 wings on it to work the side breaks.Not wanting to go off on a tangent but what have some fendts dropped the spilt brakes and hanbe only one pedal ?
Yes, the 500 series have double pedals as standard. 700 series have single pedal as standard with double pedals as an option.Not wanting to go off on a tangent but what have some fendts dropped the spilt brakes and hanbe only one pedal ?
