Just a point or two if you haven't used a loader before: Keep the bucket low. Running around with a load in the the bucket in a raised position, also raises the center of gravity of the tractor, making it very prone to tipping over, even by just running one tire up over a curb. Also, be very aware of overhead lines. Electrical lines make a heck of a scary light show! Weight the rear end with wheel weights, or fluid. Attempting to lift a load at the front, and having your rear tires come off the ground instead is a real spooky feeling. Remember even a small amount of turn in the steering is going to result in a big swing at the end of the bucket. Watch the bucket, particularly if you're backing up, it's easy to not pay attention and take out the side of the barn, or worse yet, the door of mom's new Blazer. Anybody else?
