How NOT to Snow plow in a skid loader

What happens here

The presenter highlights that every parking lot has a pattern for efficient snow removal. It's the operator's job to identify this pattern quickly. Regardless of whether working alone or as part of a team, never randomly push snow. Always plow with a clear purpose and strategy. If you can push multiple 'buckets' worth of snow (15-20 buckets or more) to a single spot before moving it, it saves considerable time compared to constantly relocating small piles. He demonstrates a final, thorough clean-up of the parking lot, ensuring no dribbles or small snow piles are left behind for the next operator.

Goal: Develop efficient plowing patterns and ensure a complete clean-up.
