How to run a Skid steer
What happens here
Skid steers are called 'skid steers' because they literally skid and rip the ground when turning sharply. To avoid damaging surfaces, especially lawns, learn to perform a '3-point turn.' This involves driving forward, backing up, and driving forward again in multiple small movements rather than a single sharp turn. This method helps preserve the ground below. When someone approaches your machine, always remove your hands from the controls to signal that the machine is secure and you are aware of their presence.
Goal: Minimize ground damage during turns and ensure safety when interacting with people around the machine.
