How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader

What happens here

In a team plowing scenario where larger equipment (like a backhoe loader or trucks) handles the main snow moving, the skid steer's role shifts to that of a secondary snow mover. Its primary job is to clear the edges, corners, and tight spaces (crevices) that the larger, less agile equipment cannot efficiently access. The video shows a Bobcat S185 skid steer performing this task around light poles and other obstacles, effectively funneling snow towards the main drive lanes for the primary movers.

Goal: Clear edges and tight spaces in a team plowing operation.
