That raises another point of discussion. Safety. I am a safety professional by trade. I have read all of the safety literature provided with the tractor. Obviously COG matters and keeping loads low makes sense. In the commercial fishing world, rotating hazards and pinch points kill and maim far too many, so I'll be very alert for those hazards. As always, experience is the best teacher. I have never operated a tractor. I take things very slowly at first. What tips do the members here have?

As an extension to the topic of safety, my owners manual tells me not to baby the engine during break-in. Anytime I undertake something new, I take it slow. I guess with the low range on the HST I can keep the revs up without moving too quickly huh?
