Stacking PILES of snow!

What happens here

After the large snow piles are created, Oscar attempts to drive the SDLG wheel loader up one of the piles to demonstrate the traction of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires. While the tires provide excellent grip, the steepness of the packed snow pile proves challenging for the loader with its current load, illustrating that even specialized tires have limits. The narrator notes that while winter tires are a significant improvement, they don't perform 'miracles'.

Goal: Assess the limits of specialized winter tire traction on challenging snow terrain.

Tools and materials

  • SDLG Wheel Loader — Performing the traction test
  • Snow Pile N/A — The obstacle for testing traction

[Applause] pile oh he's got that bucket High bring that bucket down Oscar all right so the Haka Poes can't perform Miracles but you might as well give it a try just to see what they can do the Haka polities may not be able to make a load or clim a pile of snow that really shouldn't be able to do anyway but in general just for the kind of work that we're putting these loaders through it has made a big difference I told them to try to climb the pile I just wanted to see what those tires could do but that's a bit much work damn that's a bat load isn't it that is a big fat squishy load on the front of that machine would you iice to say you think we make more money off from loading and Hauling or plowing I'd say for loading and Hauling what do you think we make the most money on plowing salting or loading and Hauling I'd say loading and Hauling loading and Hauling Yep this is where we this is why we took these accounts really it was it wasn't for the snow plowing cuz the plowing is actually worse on these accounts cuz it's a 3-in trigger Y where our other accounts we were plowing if it just dusted you just all right guys full push not getting out as much but we had zero loading and Hauling over there they were pinching pennies we're here they got to get everything out cuz there's nowhere to safely store snow for the Sledge We put on an aftermarket bucket to optimize the amount of snow that we're able to handle but for the Hyundai we just use it standard dirt bucket and that's coming in to assist out in just a moment
