What happens here
The initial step involves maneuvering the first section of the manufactured home. A Platypus tracked dolly, also known as a CST Platypus, is used to pull the heavy section, while a Case 570L XT backhoe provides additional pushing power from the front. This delicate operation requires careful coordination due to limited clearance around trees and uneven terrain. Ensure the path is cleared as much as possible to avoid obstructions.
Goal: Move the first section of the manufactured home to its general placement area
