Running the Loader in SLOPPY, wet snow
What happens here
Inside the cabin, the presenter demonstrates the operational controls. He highlights the single joystick that manages both the boom (lifting/lowering the snow pusher) and the tilt (adjusting the angle of the pusher). He then shows the simple gear selector, which consists of just forward and reverse, with separate buttons to switch between fast ("rabbit") and slow ("turtle") speeds. He also points out the all-wheel drive lock button, which engages all four tires for maximum traction when needed. The outside temperature is noted as 7 degrees Fahrenheit.
Goal: Learn the basic operational controls for the Kubota R530 loader and its attachments.
