Pro tip: double-check your load radius on the first pick of the day

Almost overshot my lift radius by 3 feet this morning because the ground settled overnight from rain. Now I always run a quick test cycle before hooking the actual load - saved me from a potential tip-over today.

Yep, ground shift from overnight rain is a sneaky one people forget about.

Used to skip that step. Not anymore after reading this. Good call.

Read a safety report once that said ground shifts after rain cause more near-misses than mechanical failures. Always do that test cycle now even if it looks fine.
