NO OIL CHANGE FOR 9 YEARS!! SEE THE CHUNKS!!....DANGER!! CLOSE CALL LOADING UP!
What happens here
After the oil change is completed, Don prepares to load the Bobcat skid steer onto a trailer. He positions the skid steer facing away from the trailer and backs it up the ramps. To balance the heavy machine during loading, Don raises the front grapple attachment as he drives, which causes the front wheels of the tow truck to lift off the ground, resulting in the truck rolling slightly down the driveway. The presenter comments on the inherent danger and risks involved in this loading technique.
Goal: Safely load the Bobcat skid steer onto a trailer for transport.
