What happens here
The operator explains the technique of using 'gravity in my favor' when transporting a 'super tippy load' up a steep, icy, and sandy driveway. The skid steer drives backwards up the incline, with the bucket positioned to 'hook everything' using its back lip, preventing debris from falling out and distributing weight towards the machine's rear for better traction and stability. This technique is crucial for safety and efficiency on challenging terrain.
Goal: Transport the loaded skid steer bucket up a steep, snowy hill to a waiting dump trailer, utilizing gravity and strategic bucket positioning to maintain stability.
