we're going to teach you guys how to run a skid loader today by teaching my son how to run one because he's pretty much a novice at it he's been in one a few times in his life so he knows how to get in and out of a piece of equipment but he's not efficient with it by any means and today what we're gonna be doing is grabbing this dirt and carrying it down and dropping it in the brown spots down there and all i want you to do is just pick it up carry it down and drop it okay once we get that down then we'll start to learn some of the other things but let's go get familiar with your piece of equipment now the best way to teach somebody brand new to run a piece of equipment is when there's nobody looking over their shoulder except for whoever is mentoring them the place i usually like to do it is snow plowing in the middle of night in a bit wide open parking lot but nope that's a mini loader
