This was harder than I thought! Building a new roadway driveway on the farm!
What happens here
The Gehl RT210 skid steer is brought into the cleared area. The Raptor Attachments Grapple is then connected to the front of the skid steer by attaching its hydraulic lines. After securing the grapple, the skid steer is started. The operator allows the machine to warm up, monitoring the hydraulic fluid temperature, ensuring it reaches 110°F before beginning any heavy work. This allows the hydraulic fluid to thin and circulate optimally, preventing potential damage to the machine's components.
Goal: Prepare the skid steer with the grapple attachment for clearing.
