What is a roll-over?
• Discuss tractor safety and rollover protection.
• Anyone personally aware of tractor rollovers.
• Discuss loading and transport.
• Have any of them dumped a load or heard of someone who has dumped a load?

What is stability?
• Stability – Refers to a condition of
balance.
• Center of gravity is critical to stability.
• If an object is tipped, but will return to its original position when released, it is in stable equilibrium.

What is stability?
• For a stable equilibrium condition, a plumb line dropped from the center of gravity will fall within the base of the object.

What is stability?
• If an object is tipped to a point where a plumb line attached to the center of gravity falls outside its base, an unstable equilibrium condition exists.

What is center of gravity?
• Center of gravity – Point at which all
parts or areas of a body are balanced.
• Balance – Stability or
equilibrium

THE CENTER OFGRAVITY ON A TRACTOR
![Page 13: Physical Science Applications in Agriculture](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568143f4550346895db07de6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is center of gravity?
• The typical tractor has its center of gravity located between the front and rear wheels behind the midpoint of the tractor’s length and above the axle height.
• Center of gravity of an object will always seek the lowest possible position.
• If tipping an object lowers the center of gravity, the object will not return to its original position.

Where is the center of gravity located on a tractor?
• Center of gravity of an object determines the stability of that object.

Where is the center of gravity located on a tractor?
• The center of gravity will always seek the lowest position possible; therefore great care must be taken when loading or hitching to prevent rollover.
• The external forces acting on a tractor pulling an implement can be quantified and analyzed.

Where is the center of gravity located on a tractor?
• Hitch height is an important variable in stability.
1. If hitch height is too high, the hitched tractor is not in equilibrium.
2. Hitching at a lower point or weighing the front of the tractor can prevent unsafe rollover conditions from occurring.

Where is the center of gravity located on a tractor?
• The object will be stable if a plumb line dropped from the center of gravity passes through the base of the object.
