Digging in Soft Sand

What happens here

After dumping the sand, the Bobcat T180 continues to harvest more sand using the same deep and wide trenching technique. The video also briefly shows a Carbon 331 compact wheel loader being used to load sand into a smaller utility dump vehicle (Can-Am Defender). This demonstrates how different types of excavation equipment can be utilized for various stages of site clearing and material transport.
