What happens here

With the trailer ramps deployed, carefully climb into the operator's seat of the Kubota SVL65-2 skid steer loader. Fasten your seatbelt and ensure all safety interlocks are engaged. Start the engine, allowing it to warm up for a few moments. Once the engine is running smoothly, use the controls to gently raise the front loader bucket a safe distance from the ground, ensuring it clears the trailer bed and ramps. Position the bucket slightly forward to maintain balance as you begin to drive off.

Goal: Prepare the skid steer for driving off the trailer.
