Tractor Rocker Arm
A Tractor Rocker Arm is a common piece of equipment that is commonly seen on a number of tractors. It is a great piece of equipment to have and can be used for everything from light duty work to heavy duty work. It is also worth noting that this piece of equipment is one of the most common causes of back injury on a farm or ranch as it is so versatile. It can be used in many different ways, which makes it very beneficial.
The main use of the Tractor Rocker Arm is to raise and lower the bucket of material that is being worked with. As the bucket moves further up into the machine, the trailer will rock backwards and forwards to ensure that the materials being raised are being pushed upwards. In doing this the bucket will be kept up in one position by the weight of the materials being worked with, but the operator can move the machine to a different work area by pulling the arm out of the bucket and moving it to a work area closer to where they want to be. This is commonly used when a machine needs to be moved a long distance away from where it is being used.
Another common use of the Tractor Rocker Arm is when the operator wants to lift something a long distance away, such as hay or grain for storage on a farm. The bucket of the machine can be lifted quite a bit with the help of the roller, and the arm can be extended so that the entire field can be accessed. When this is done, the trailer will rock forwards and backwards in order to move the bucket further up. This works especially well if there are a lot of hills or mountains, where the distance to be covered is longer. This method of using the machine is very efficient and convenient for working in a large field.
