Plowing LAYERS of Snow and ICE

What happens here

Train new operators, such as the presenter's 14-year-old daughter, on how to safely and effectively use the equipment. Start in a clear, low-risk area with minimal obstacles. Teach basic controls, steering, and plow manipulation. Emphasize how to lift the plow to avoid getting stuck in deep snow or when navigating uneven surfaces. The video shows the daughter learning to operate a Kubota skid steer with an Arctic plow, receiving instructions on when to raise the plow or 'feather' the snow to prevent the machine from losing traction. This hands-on training fosters skill development and promotes safe equipment handling.

Goal: Teach basic operation and safety procedures for snow plowing equipment to new operators.

boom that's her first time running a piece of equipment she's 14. that's her first scoop of snow right there the reason i like to say stuff like that is because those are memories you guys that we all have a chance to make with somebody well you got a lot of snow there you're starting to slide you don't have snow tracks so it's going to slip a lot so kind of lift lift your bucket up in the air a little bit and keep going forward keep lifting until you get some bite and then go keep going come forward come forward as you go yeah there you go give her some gas step on the pedal give her some power so ava what you're trying to do when you lift it up is you're trying to get just a little bit of snow below you and the machine we're not scraping all the way down to the because you got the wrong tracks for that so you're not trying to dump your snow but when you feel like you're stuck you raise the plow up that much just a hair and then keep going if you got too much snow it's not going to push all that so you got to maybe let a little bit go and then keep pushing but back back up now lift this straight lift it up and back up all right well while tim is teaching his daughter how to run a skid loader i think we're just going to keep plowing with these guys working here sometimes if you realize you're actually making a memory oh it's just so it's just kind of cool to know to be in that moment you know what i mean
