			==Seatbelt==
			In the event of a rollover, the occupant needs to be secure in the seat.

Beginning research into a foot pedal mechanism for controlling the QA plate angle would be beneficial.

	** Field of view improvements		Additional controls for the skid steering like joysticks would be useful too but may be too complicated.
	** Head lights
	** Optimized hydraulic locations for maximum lifting capacities		==Field of view improvements==
	** Track ~~design~~
			==Head lights==
			Attaching headlight mounts to the front of the frame for operation at night is useful.

			==Optimized hydraulic locations for maximum lifting capacities==
			The locations of the hydraulics and how they push on the loader arms need to be optimized.

			==Track Design==
			Current tracks can slip off during hard riding. Proposes for redesign of tracks or adjustment of current tracks is desired.
