What happens here

The host explains the current state of their John Deere 250 skid loader, noting its new tires and the intentional removal of tracks, which are typically used in muddy winter conditions or on steep grades, but are unnecessary for the current task. He confirms that the pallet forks will be attached to the skid steer to handle the sawmill components.

Goal: Preparation of the John Deere 250 skid steer for material handling by ensuring new tires are on and tracks are off, and confirming pallet forks are ready for use.

all right guys you notice the tracks are off the skid loader we got new tires and I've got to take this to my dad's house and help him out getting some trees out of the fields down at his farm so we got new tires on the skid loader we're going to leave the tracks off for a little while because we simply don't need them this time of year in the wintertime when it's really really muddy that's when we need our tracks and we need some traction but when we're working on a steep grade so I've got the tracks laid out right here and we'll show you how we put them back on the loader right here those are grouser tracks so we're just going to unload this real quick then me and lane will go through all the parts of it and tell you exactly what it is and I've got to find a place to put this thing temporarily until we can get a shed big enough to put this thing underneath and start sawing our own lumber gets tough
