Hey ya Davis. When I saw that thing on TV, they were re-inacting it. When they started lifting the bail (was only tied to the loader), they cleared the bottom edge of the front rim - I thought high enough, stop. Then cleared the top of the front tire, then the hood, then kept going until the farmer could see between the hood and the bottom of the loader, with a bail only tied to it. Holy cow, what was that guy thinking? I don't know if he even got it in gear before the bail came rolling down like a bowling ball, and he won't ever do that again. OUCH!!!

When moving around, I figure the bottom edge of the load at about the bottom edge of the front rim is perfect, above the front axle is looking for more trouble. As far as loader spears go, gotta get the bail on or off of the side of a flatbed and 3-point spears don't lift that high. Just on or off though, and then low as can get away with. Maybe loaders should be spelled "low-ders".
