THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD....SKIDDING HUGE OAK LOGS ALONE!
What happens here
The presenter highlights that the skid steer loader, despite having low operational hours (1300 hours), is suffering from failing 20-year-old hydraulic hoses due to age. This leads to frustration and discussion about potentially replacing the machine with a Kubota or a tracked John Deere model. He attempts to use the skid steer to push and pull a large, heavy log piece further away from the road, but the wheeled machine struggles to get traction in the soft, wet ground, confirming its limitations for the heaviest logs.
Goal: Identify limitations of current equipment and adjust the log moving strategy.
