What happens here

A Bobcat S185 skid steer is shown heavily stuck in a muddy, slushy area beneath snow. The operator first attempts to pull it out using a Jeep with a winch line, but this is unsuccessful. He then explains the technique of using forks to leverage the skid steer out of deep mud by digging them into the ground and lifting the machine.

Goal: Demonstrate the process of getting a Bobcat skid steer stuck and the recovery method using a Jeep and self-extraction with forks.

gonna work [Music] so now this workie quad will boom up and lift into the a dump trailer a pickup truck and the reason i i'm kind of partial toward this is although it's maybe not as versatile for just snow removal this thing can work 12 months out of the year because that's how how many months out of the year you're gonna end up paying for it right [Music] we got the skid loader totally buried bad and at first i figured we could just give her a gentle yank and pull her out
