Overview

Distinctly practical, this short how-to explains the mechanical difference between radial (non-self-leveling) and self-leveling loaders, then demonstrates the two-handed hydraulic technique, raising the boom while simultaneously angling the forks, needed to safely lift and place a pallet-mounted sprayer into a pickup truck. Mike also covers why slow engine speed matters and briefly names brands that offer self-leveling. Best for new tractor owners confused by loader behavior.
