Address Frozen Skid Steer Attachment Pins

What happens here

The Arctic Pusher snowplow attachment is frozen onto the ASV VT-70 Posi-Track skid steer's universal attachment plate due to cold weather. To release the pins that secure the attachment, the skid steer's hydraulic system requires pressure on the operator's seat to bypass a safety sensor. Since the operator cannot sit in the seat and simultaneously work on the front-mounted pins, a creative solution is employed. A heavy chain is taken from the Rice equipment trailer and placed onto the skid steer's operator seat to simulate an operator's weight, thereby activating the seat pressure sensor. The operator then stands outside the cab, presses the hydraulic unlock button, and uses a hammer and a pry bar to manually dislodge the frozen pins, allowing the attachment to be separated.

Goal: This initial step involves troubleshooting and freeing a frozen Arctic Pusher snowplow attachment from the ASV VT-70 Posi-Track skid steer, which is complicated by the machine's seat pressure sensor safety feature.
