[facepalm] SSQA:

[Showmedata]

[facepalm] SSQA: I just discovered last week that by raising the loader all the way up, I can stand up in the cockpit and reach the SSQA levers.
no need to climb down to the ground for that.

YMMV based on your reach.

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

I hope I'm wrong.

That's a great way to have a bucket or other implement kill you!
The angle of the implement when raised can let it come off the back and on top of you!

I think I have a pretty good grasp of how gravity and center-of-mass works.

Well hope you have a good life insurance policy too to go with all those other smarts!

If it’s so dangerous, then why does Kubota recommend that I raise my bucket all the way and throw objects in it instead of scooping them off the ground. Makes no sense

Pretty sure I can get off the seat,walk(not run) to levers and gently pull them, then walk back and get onto seat BEFORE he can do it his way......
Then...
there's the HOW do you SECURE those latches when the new attachment is on the SSQA ......

Gravity is 100% constant - Center of mass varies by the millisecond!

You might just want to climb off the station and pull those handles.

Guess he uses the force!

Gravity never takes a day off. Mother Nature always wins. I think I came up with that. Would suck if it became applicable to this situation.

His moniker is "Showmedata". He's going to create his own data!

I don’t think my size relative to my tractor/loader size would allow that in my case. If it did, I wouldn’t do it with any implement I couldn’t catch hold without injury if it came back at me. I don’t have any of those.
