How to break your loader - Tractor loader mistakes that your warranty won't cover

A dealership service-side perspective on loader misuse, covering the specific failures techs actually see: sheared frame bolts from side-impact ramming, twisted frames from off-center lifting, and cylinder damage from angled scraping. The presenter physically demonstrates each mistake on real equipment and explains the mechanical reason it causes harm. Best for new tractor owners who haven't thought carefully about how loaders are, and aren't, designed to be used.

The presenter identifies himself as a tractor dealership employee drawing on what he sees come in for repair, giving this a service-counter rather than owner-operator perspective.
