$100 Pickup truck update, Bobcat Troubles again...another darn rant: government and responsibility

What happens here

To safely lift the heavy Bobcat skid steer, utilize its built-in hydraulics. Position the bucket on the ground and extend the hydraulic arms to lift the front of the machine. Once the machine is sufficiently raised, place sturdy jack stands under the axles to provide stable and secure support, ensuring the machine remains elevated even if hydraulic pressure decreases over time.

Goal: Elevate the skid steer off the ground and secure it for tire removal.
