Stacking Massive snow banks with the Compact loader

What happens here

With the SDLG L918F wheel loader now fully refueled and equipped with the Pro-Tech Fusion Edge snow pusher, the operator drives it to the final snow stacking location, which appears to be a large open area. He begins the process of pushing and stacking massive amounts of dense, icy snow. He notes the poor traction of the machine's tires on the underlying ice, causing them to spin, and determines that the Pro-Tech pusher is not ideal for 'ramming' into such hard-packed material, leading him to consider switching to a bucket attachment for better penetration. The drone, capturing aerial footage, is involved in an accidental collision with the loader's bucket during this phase, highlighting the risks of close-proximity filming.

Goal: Stack snow in the designated area, addressing challenges posed by icy conditions and an unexpected drone incident.

guys the sledge has an external fuel gauge as well so I'll check it out so the sledge has you can actually see where the fuel is and I still got a fuel in the bottom one so I could have made it but whatever the inside gauge is flashing and blinking and the external one's telling me we got fuel [Applause] yeah that's good all right we got her topped off and it's time to finish the trip out to the site where we're gonna be stacking snow but on the way there we got to have a little bit of fun I actually run into Tim at the light and I wouldn't do this with anybody else you guys but this is kind of fun to make him nervous you know the worst part is he doesn't even get nervous over this crap I mean I come right up to him and it doesn't faze him [Music] actually this is a pretty good shot of this protect me look at that blue thing right there you can see that the protec actually floats independently of the loader which gives it a really good clean screen I think it's a little slick snow was pretty compacted and the protec just wasn't the ideal choice for this and then this happened I don't know how much more abuse this thing can take he just smashed right into it with a payloader
