What controls the stability of the machine when the front loader is firmly down on flat ground?

The position of the loader bucket is crucial for maintaining stability when the front loader is firmly down on flat ground. When the bucket is lowered to the ground, it acts as a counterbalance to the weight of the machine and any load it is carrying. This positioning helps ensure that the weight is distributed evenly and lowers the center of gravity, making the machine less likely to tip or become unstable during operation.

In addition, when the loader bucket is down, it provides a firm point of contact with the ground, which further enhances stability and allows the operator to perform tasks such as lifting, digging, or moving materials with more control. This is particularly important in preventing the machine from sliding or tilting, especially when working on uneven surfaces or with heavy loads.

While factors such as the arrangement of the hydraulic system, load distribution of the backhoe, and the presence of trenches can affect the overall performance and operational safety of the machine, the immediate control of stability in this context is directly related to how the loader bucket is positioned.
