PULLING OVER a TALL tree with a Truck & Skid steer.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The truck and skid steer are prepared as part of the tree felling strategy. The truck bed is first cleaned using a hose to remove debris, including mud and small rocks. The skid steer's tires are inflated to the correct PSI (60 PSI for this specific tire, though the maximum is 80 PSI) using a Milwaukee M12 Compact Inflator. The skid steer is then carefully loaded onto a "Dirtmonkey" dump trailer, with a focus on proper weight distribution to avoid excessive tongue weight on the truck. The forks are removed from the skid steer to facilitate better weight distribution and prevent dragging.

Goal: Ensure all heavy machinery is ready and safely loaded for the tree felling and removal process.
