What happens here

The presenter shows the skid steer, explaining that it currently has a toothed bucket. He plans to swap it for a smooth bucket to properly smooth the gravel road. The process involves pulling a lever to release the current bucket, detaching it, and then hooking up the smooth bucket by aligning it with a lip on the skid steer's arm and pushing the levers down to lock it in place. He starts the Bobcat 773 skid steer and lets it warm up.

Goal: Equip the skid steer with a smooth bucket for spreading and leveling.

Tools and materials

  • Skid Steer Bobcat 773 — Operating to move and spread materials
  • Skid Steer Levers N/A — To release and lock attachments
  • Smooth Bucket — Loading and smoothing materials like gravel or wood chips
  • Toothed Bucket — For digging or breaking up tough soil (not needed for this task)
