OPERATING THE LOADER
WARNING: Do not operate unless all control lever
positions function as instructed in Figure 10.
The loader should be operated with the tractor engine
running at a safe RPM. Excessive speeds are danger-
ous, and may cause bucket spillage and unnecessary
strain on the tractor and loader.
IMPORTANT: To prevent possible damage to the
tractor transmission, engage the 4WD only when
additional traction is needed while operating in loose
soil or on slippery surfaces, or when descending a
slope. Disengage the 4WD when operating on firm,
flat surfaces or when operating at high speeds. Refer
to the tractor operator’s manual for instructions on
using the 4WD feature.

The lift and rollback of the bucket will increase effi-
ciency because maintaining a level bucket throughout
the lifting cycle resists bucket lift and increases
breakaway effort. See Figure 16.
Figure 16
NOTE: Do not be concerned if the bucket is not
completely filled during each pass. Maximum produc-
tivity is determined by the amount of material loaded
in a given period of time. Time is lost if two or more
attempts are made to fill the bucket on each pass.
Lifting the Load
When lifting the load, keep the bucket positioned to
avoid spillage. See Figure 17.
Figure 17
WARNING: Do not attempt to lift bucket
loads in excess of the loader capacity.
IMPORTANT: If you should discover that your tractor
requires increased stability for a particular application,
contact your Cub Cadet Yanmar dealer about ad-
ditional weighting for the rear of the tractor.
Carrying the Load
Position the bucket below the level of the tractor hood
for maximum stability and visibility, whether the bucket
is loaded or empty. See Figure 18.
