What happens here

Before beginning any work, ensure the mini skid steer is parked on a flat, stable surface. Chock the wheels or tracks that will not be lifted to prevent accidental movement. Carefully use a heavy-duty hydraulic jack to lift the front or side of the machine, as per the manufacturer's recommendations, until the track is completely off the ground. Once lifted, place sturdy jack stands or heavy-duty blocking beneath the machine's frame to secure it in place. This ensures stability and safety while working under the machine.

Goal: Safely lift and secure the mini skid steer for track replacement.
