Clearing a New Hay Field with a Skid Steer (Finally! Nothing Broke!)

What happens here

Before beginning heavy work, the operator starts the skid steer engine and allows it to run for a period to warm up. This ensures that the engine oil and hydraulic fluid reach their optimal operating temperatures, promoting smoother performance and reducing wear on the machine's components.

Goal: Prepare the skid steer for safe and efficient operation.
