Sorry 18 Wheeler, I respectfully disagree. I takes a darned good effort to tip a 74; a L/M's job is to ensure that does not happen.
Tail-stands are rarely used correctly; once installed, there should be someone monitoring the strain-gauge to ensure the tail area is not being over-stressed. The tail-stand should then be adjusted. How often do you see that? What I have seen a couple of times is the tail-stand slip off the "ball", piercing the APU.
More trouble than they're worth. A good loadie is cheaper.
