    Question

    In the context of tractor stability on sloped terrains,

    the term centre of gravity (CG) is of significant importance. Which of the following statements most accurately explains how the location of the CG affects tractor safety and tipping risk?
    A A higher CG increases traction and reduces fuel consumption. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B A lower and centrally located CG reduces the risk of rollover on uneven fields. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C A forward CG allows for faster turning with improved stability. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rearward CG increases pulling power on inclined surfaces. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Lateral CG shift improves implement lifting efficiency. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A lower and centrally positioned CG ensures better balance and stability, especially on uneven or sloped terrain. A higher CG increases the chances of rollover, particularly during turning or when operating on inclines.
