What happens here

The team proceeds to remove the 'SNO POWER' spreader from the truck's bed. This large, orange equipment is connected to the truck via a fifth-wheel system, making its removal a delicate balancing act. It must be supported entirely by its own weight without putting pressure on or taking pressure off the truck. One worker is in the truck bed, while the other guides the spreader out as the truck moves carefully forward. They encounter a sticking lower pin, requiring careful maneuvering to free the spreader.

Goal: Detach the 'SNO POWER' spreader from the truck bed.

that is pretty salad the snow power will be permanently disconnected for the year not to go back on until November so that means it has to come right out of the truck bed itself it's connected into the truck bed using a fifth rail system for it to slide out easily means it's got to be completely supporting itself without taking any pressure off the truck or putting pressure on the truck it's a fine balancing this plow like the front flop hasn't been off in eight months one of the lower pins sticks sending the plow carry a situation pull ahead so that hitch comes out as a boss and an owner I'm lucky enough to have a team that I know cares about their work and has a lot of common sense so if and when an accident does happen if something goes out I know it's not because of carelessness it's because that's just the way life goes once in a while with one challenge down we've still got more to go we've got a mini excavator that hasn't been started in almost eight months okay
