Case Skid Loader - Heavy Equipment Review

What happens here

The reviewer demonstrates the bucket's precision, showing how he can 'flip' a small amount of dirt from the edge of the bucket to its center with minimal effort. He praises this level of control, stating that few machines can achieve such finesse. However, he identifies a significant drawback: insufficient belly clearance. He notes that in wet and sloppy conditions, the machine tends to 'belly drag,' leaving ruts. He suggests that larger tires or a redesign could improve this aspect, confirming that the reviewed machine was equipped with small tires.

Goal: Assess the bucket's operational precision and identify issues with the machine's ground clearance.
