How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader

What happens here

The presenter offers important advice for snow plowing businesses. Firstly, he stresses assigning the most skilled equipment operators to the best available equipment. This allows the best operators to set a high pace, motivating others to keep up. Secondly, he highlights the critical need for backup equipment. If a machine breaks down, having a ready spare prevents cascading downtime, where multiple personnel and machines become idle. He recommends keeping at least one, if not two, backup pieces of equipment ready to swap in immediately.

Goal: Optimize efficiency and minimize downtime in snow plowing operations.
