How NOT to run a Wheel loader - mistakes, errors and red flags

What happens here

The instructor demonstrates another common mistake: excessive tire slippage when trying to load material. This occurs when the operator tries to push the bucket into a pile without proper traction or technique, causing the tires to spin. Tire slippage not only wastes fuel and time but also significantly increases tire wear, which is costly.

Goal: Understand the causes and costs of excessive tire slippage.
