    Delivery guy's Toyota. It's a Hilux, very common vehicle around here. Basically indestructible. He said "this isn't our usual trailer...

    With a bucket of dirt, when I lift I usually crowd as well so I don't tip the dirt on me / lose dirt onto the ground. I seem to recall...

    Delivery guy brought it like that, so I presume no. We're a small country, so we're lucky that we don't get lots of overly prescriptive...

    Override in that I can still angle the joystick and crowd the loader while it's lifting - yes. So if I was lifting a bucket of something...

    I thought you had a B in between there somewhere. Must be misremembering. I didn't necessarily want self levelling, but now I have it...
