What happens here

Yet another critical equipment failure occurs: the backhoe gets a flat tire that is deemed irreparable on-site. The tire appears to be off the bead, and the rim might also be damaged. This forces the team to plan for towing the backhoe to another location for a complete tire and rim replacement. This incident severely impacts the efficiency of the operation and once again stresses the importance of routine tire inspections, including pressure and integrity, as a key component of pre-operation checks.

Goal: The backhoe, after stacking snow, also suffers a flat tire that is beyond immediate field repair, requiring it to be moved off-site for a new tire and rim.
