Storms a Coming! Last Plow of the year!

What happens here

The video opens with a discussion between Stanley and Zakk, setting the context for a busy winter season of snow removal. Zakk describes his routine of performing maintenance after every snowstorm to prevent equipment breakdowns. He then goes to retrieve his Milwaukee grease gun from the shop, ready to begin the maintenance tasks for the day. He also mentions the importance of keeping heavy equipment fueled and greased.

Goal: Understand the maintenance routine and gather necessary tools.

Tools and materials

  • Grease Tube Blast! — Refilling the grease gun
  • Milwaukee Grease Gun Milwaukee — Lubricating various components of the heavy equipment
  • Skid Steer — One of the primary pieces of equipment to be maintained
