Avoiding Injury or Death from Falling Round Bales

causym CAUTION: To help prevent personal injury or death caused by falling loads:

  • DO NOT handle round bales unless loader is equipped with an approved bale handling attachment. Otherwise, the bale can fall on the operator when the loader is raised.

  • Make sure tractor hydraulic SCV functions are as follows:

    • 6000 and 7000 Series Tractors with hoses coupled to tractor selective control valves (SCV); Set detent selector knobs on tops of valves to "loader" position. (See procedure in Preparing the Tractor Section.)

    • 20, 30, 40, 50 and 55 Series Tractor; Set control lever stops to prevent levers from going to detent position. (See procedure in Preparing the Tractor Section.)

  • Handle raised loads with caution.

  • Carry loads low and drive slowly.
