What happens when the stick is extended on a TLB?

When the stick is extended on a Tractor-Loader-Backhoe (TLB), the primary outcome is that the reach is increased. This extension allows the operator to access further distances without having to move the entire machine. By extending the stick, the operator can perform tasks such as digging or placing materials further away from the machine's base, which is particularly useful in construction and excavation projects.

The operational efficiency can potentially be affected by factors like the weight of the load or the balance of the machine, but the key takeaway is the enhanced reach provided by the stick's extension. This allows for greater accessibility and versatility in performing various tasks, which is essential for effective heavy equipment operation.
