What happens here
This project details the process of getting a snow plowing operation running in the early hours of a snow event, including troubleshooting equipment issues like a dead battery on a large loader, successfully jump-starting it, and then coordinating multiple heavy machines to efficiently clear a large parking lot. It highlights the challenges and teamwork involved in professional snow removal.

one that lives the furthest away and that's Zach I think Zach's going to hop in the Kabota sp75 Sam was going to but I heard he fell down a flight of steps tripping over his cat that's what happens when you're watching out too much for we've got the Kabota r530 this is uh going to be uh Sam's going to be his home because he's injured so Sam will go in there and then we've got the sdlg and the

Haka paludis it's got $99,000 worth of tires on that bad boy yeah it bads up fast doesn't it all right well while we wait for everybody to show up we had a 4:00 start time and well technically I started at 3:00 so I apologize I already screwed up it's now 4 and we have nobody but s uh Zach here maybe just let it sit for a minute that way we can turn the Kos that way we can just get as much juice as we can out of it did it click yeah we now we got power but like I I don't know why it why would it have died I have no idea I came out here I I heard it run for like six or S minutes and I

what's got me I mean it it died and then the battery went dead which is the battery well the LEDs and the and the strobe with it running with whatever nothing unless we need two unless remember last time we needed like two two vehicles on it cuz one was on one battery one was on the other uhhuh all right let's keep this show rolling I can't tell you guys how many times I've gone out to plow snow worked all night maybe all week and to never make any money this thing up the the other uh the other day too this was fired up Thursday yeah it's always it's always something happening it it's just it's just never ending it's cuz you got so many moving parts so many different pieces of equipment stuff always has an issue can't let it get to you do I sound frustrated yes I am frustrated but I got a good team of freaking guys cuz otherwise I would just be oh you got a set too Oscar's got a set I think we good I got got just give it a minute just let let it sit for a couple minutes you don't think that fuel froze up do you no everything's been treated and everything's been ran through basically a full tank of glitterized diesel I don't know what it was it was running okay but uh I only had a 5 6 minutes of spare here and then I rolled down there to get those guys going you know I just came here to get them warm Sam you're going to be in the r530 the hex is the r530 the mini loader
