Breaking in a new Skid Steer

What happens here

Once the compact track loader is positioned on the trailer, the operator retrieves chains and binders to secure the machine. The chains are attached to designated tie-down points on the loader and tightened using chain binders. Special attention is paid to a safety chain located at the front of the dump trailer, which prevents the trailer bed from tilting during transport. The narrator highlights that neglecting this chain can cause the trailer to inadvertently become a 'tilt deck' trailer, which is unsafe if not intended.

Goal: This step focuses on safely securing the compact track loader to the dump trailer using chains and binders to prevent movement during transport, specifically addressing the functionality of the trailer's tilt mechanism.

i love these aluminum ramps if you guys buy a trailer get the aluminum ramps oh so much better than the steel ramps so watch as i back up i don't have a lot of space and this skid loader doesn't have a big fat booty meaning there's not a whole lot behind me and that's a design that i love i love that reminds me the old-school bobcats i used to run just little tighter compacter machines you just kind of felt like you were nestled in there a little bit more some of you operators may know what i mean
