What happens here

Introduce a skid steer loader, such as a Bobcat S185, to further enhance the compaction of the sloped site. The skid steer is operated by tilting its front bucket upward and driving it over the prepared slope. This action compresses the soil even more effectively, creating a very dense and stable surface. This secondary compaction step ensures maximum resistance to water infiltration and erosion.

Goal: Achieve maximum soil density and stability

What they say

Hide

the entire site, making it unworkable for an even longer amount of time. So, what you see him doing in the background is a simple way of protecting a sight. You also see the skid steer working right now. What the skid steer is doing is using its bucket instead of in a flat position. It's tipping it up and it's going into the sight and it's taking that sight and it's compressing the soil. So, it's compacting the sides. [Music]
