What happens here

The presenter explains the proper orientation of skid steer tires. He clarifies that the tread patterns on the front and rear tires should face in opposite directions for optimal traction (often a 'V' shape pointing forward on drive wheels and backward on steered wheels, or for skid steers, often a 'V' pointing towards the center of the machine on all wheels for traction in both forward and reverse). He also details the crucial 'star pattern' method for tightening lug nuts, emphasizing that tightening them sequentially can lead to them coming loose.

Goal: This step educates on the correct directional mounting of skid loader tires and the critical 'star pattern' method for securely tightening lug nuts to prevent loosening.

them on here there we go so as I put these wheels back on I wanted to tell you something I didn't know so the tires were on here wrong evidently the tires on the front of a skid steer once you'd be facing one way the tread pattern and the other should be facing the other way so we got that problem fixed too let's put the wheels on so guys when we put this wheel back on we want to go in a star kind of pattern okay we don't want to just tighten one two three four or five all the way around we want to cross crisscross back and forth as we tighten these things up and that way they don't come loose for some reason and one you guys might be able to leave a comment down there to tell me but for some reason if you tighten them all the way around like that they tend to come
