What happens here

Prepare the Volvo MC 115C skid steer for tire removal. Lift the front of the skid steer off the ground using its bucket attachment to elevate the front wheels. Secure the elevated position for safety. Then, using a jack, lift the rear of the skid steer to raise the back wheels off the ground, ensuring all four wheels are freely suspended. This provides access to remove and replace the tires. The video notes that the skid steer is currently equipped with solid rubber demo tires that are not suitable for snow and ice conditions.

Goal: Safely elevate the skid steer to access all tires for replacement.
