Somethings Wrong with the Skid steer

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The workers attempt to loosen the tracks by using a tow rope and a chain with another Bobcat T180 skid steer to pull on the CAT 259D's tracks. This method is quickly deemed unsafe and ineffective due to the risk of the rope snapping and causing injury. They then switch to a safer method: using the forks of the Bobcat T180 to lift the middle section of the CAT's track. This technique releases the tension on the track, allowing for easier removal. One track is successfully removed using this method, emphasizing the importance of proper tools and techniques for safety and efficiency.

Goal: Safely loosen and remove the remaining snow tracks from the skid steer.

What they say

six minutes flat but we certainly didn't get it tightened up right away in fact this was the first bad idea we had they try to loosen up the Traxxas using a tow rope and a chain and if that thing snaps somebody's gonna get hurt I don't know Frankie that rope snaps it's gonna hurt somebody we've got to get the tension off the track so we're gonna lift up in the middle of the track to loosen everything up going in so he lifts up and theories we live [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so after we pulled the rope off from the track and we use the technique of lifting up on it to loosen up the the tensioner it worked out actually pretty well that second skid loader is almost a must if you guys are gonna try to change these things on your own
