What happens here

After initial clearing, a stubborn, thin layer of packed snow and ice often remains on the pavement due to vehicle traffic and temperature fluctuations. To address this, the operator adjusts the front bucket to a more aggressive angle, scraping hard to break up the frozen material. This technique, though effective for achieving a cleaner surface, requires precision to avoid damaging the underlying asphalt or concrete.

Goal: Remove hard-packed snow and ice layers from paved surfaces.
