Snowplowing in a new loader 4K

What happens here

The operator, who is new to the SDLG loader, discusses its 'pilot controls' feature. These controls allow for precise forward, backward, and joystick movements, simplifying operation and reducing operator fatigue during long shifts, such as 14-20 hours of plowing. He highlights the benefit of not having to shift gears manually, making the machine more user-friendly. Another machine, a Mecalac loader, is also noted to have pilot controls. For any new equipment or when a new operator is taking the controls, it is crucial to review the manufacturer's manual for a comprehensive understanding of all control functions, safety features, and operating procedures before commencing work.

Goal: Understand and adapt to specialized machine controls and operational features.

so I legitimately have never plowed in this thing the only thing I've done with it is uh pull it off from a trailer and park it so we're all going to have some fun to go along for a ride together we got a brand new guy Craig came in he's already whipping around in that cabota svl 97-2 love that machine that cabota was uh definitely a uh surprise machine to me how well that thing does [Music] you can smell the newness in here smell do this pilot controls so the mecalac has uh for you guys that may or may not know mecalac has what's called pilot controls which PS the controls forward backward right on the joystick and I'll tell you H if you're going to order a machine order one with pilot controls so nice everything is handled right down here with my little nose pickers I don't have to shift oh I know it sounds a little diva-ish not having to shift reach up and shift but when you're plowing for 14 18 20 hours straight it does add up after a bit right but this is more of a practice run
