Swap Skid Steer Tires and Incorrect Lug Nut Installation
At 7:51 in
Prepping for the First Blizzard of the Year & we break down in the middle of the Storm 4 k video
What happens here
Using an impact wrench, remove the lug nuts from one of the solid rubber demo tires on the Volvo skid steer. Once all lug nuts are off, carefully remove the heavy tire from its hub. Each solid rubber tire weighs approximately 224 pounds, so proper lifting techniques are crucial. With the old tire removed, position a new winter-specific tire onto the hub, aligning the bolt holes. Hand-tighten the lug nuts onto the new tire. The video explicitly shows the lug nuts being installed backward (flat side facing the rim instead of the bevelled side). The importance of proper lug nut orientation (bevelled side towards the rim) is highlighted as a mistake that leads to equipment failure later in the video.
Goal: Replace solid rubber demo tires with winter tires, demonstrating proper vs. improper lug nut installation.
