What happens here

The compact track loader operator begins to scoop snow and ice from a tight, narrow area, reminiscent of an alleyway. The machine's small rear overhang (referred to as a 'tight booty' by the narrator) allows for efficient maneuvering in restricted spaces without fear of hitting obstacles behind the machine. The operator carefully approaches the snow pile, uses the bucket to gather a load, lifts the arms, and maneuvers to position the bucket over the dump trailer. The bucket is then tilted to deposit the snow into the trailer, showing control and precision. The operator notes the machine's hydraulic-over-hydraulic controls provide instantaneous feedback, allowing for very responsive and fine-tuned movements.

Goal: This step demonstrates the process of loading accumulated snow into the dump trailer using the compact track loader's bucket, emphasizing precise maneuvering in confined spaces and efficient material handling.

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 i can't push too hard man i could go right through that fence these big chunks of ice could damage that really easy oh you got it [Music] [Applause] [Music] so this is a manito skid loader and it's made by the same company that makes gail i don't know if i'm pronouncing that right g-e-h-l and mustang skid loaders and i've never been in any one of the three so this is my second time ever even being in this piece of equipment and it's got hydraulic over hydraulic controls versus electronic over hydraulic controls and what that means is there's no operator
