Look who added a couple new toys to the fleet 😎

What happens here

Before unloading the heavy machinery, ensure the trailer is properly prepared. Begin by locating the yellow ratchet strap securing the Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer loader to the trailer. Release the tension on the ratchet strap and completely remove it from around the skid steer, placing it safely aside. Next, walk to the rear of the trailer and unlatch the two ramps. Carefully lower both ramps to the ground, ensuring they are fully extended and stable, creating a secure incline for the skid steer to drive off.

Goal: Ready the trailer and skid steer for a safe unloading procedure.
