What happens here

After the towing incident, Zakk continues to operate the Mecalac loader, pushing large volumes of wet, heavy snow. The Mecalac is equipped with dirt tires that have steel studs, providing excellent traction on the slippery, icy surfaces. He notes that these studded dirt tires, although initially causing concern about damaging pavement, have proven very effective without causing damage. He also highlights the efficiency of the Hyundai loader with its winter tires for bulk snow moving.

Goal: Efficiently clear snow and evaluate specialized tire performance on different loaders.
