Typical Tractor Loading Sequence
Tractor Loading and Unloading
The tractor is typically stored and transported
on a special landing pad on the skid. The pad
is equipped with tie down locations so that the
tractor can be tied down for transport. A folding,
heavy duty ramp provides safe and easy loading
and unloading for the tractor. The aluminum ramp
is equipped with a lift assist system that allows
the ramp to be easily raised and lowered by the
operator.
If the SK3000 is loaded on a truck with a high
chassis, the ramp angle can become too steep
for the tractor to be safely loaded or unloaded in
some situations. Additionally, the Hog Arm can
hit the ramp if it is too steep. You should pay at-
tention to the angle of the ramp and compensate
for this situation by selecting a different location
that reduces the angle when necessary.
To unload the tractor, release the spring loaded
safety pin located on the side of ramp that secures
it in the up or stored position. Simultaneously
