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.

we'll know just as soon as we tip it it's gonna happen oh i'm cheating going backwards all right so in the earlier video what i've said is sometimes i'll use gravity in my favor get down to the bottom of the gully spin so that i'm using gravity in my favor up the hill as well when i got a super tippy load and this one was probably the tippiest yet with that big door extending way out in the bucket but what i'm doing is using the back lip
