What happens here
The presenter operates the Bobcat 773 skid steer to load a large pile of aged mulch into the back of the Ford F350 dump truck. He demonstrates the technique of driving the skid steer into the mulch pile to scoop a full bucket, then backing up, lifting the bucket over the dump truck bed, and emptying the contents. This process is repeated multiple times until a substantial load of mulch is accumulated in the truck. He highlights the challenging 'mucky' consistency of the mulch pile, which requires momentum to penetrate.
Goal: Transfer aged mulch from the pile to the dump truck bed.
