What happens here

To safely remove and install tracks, the skid steer needs to be lifted off the ground. Use a second, smaller skid steer loader (e.g., Kubota SVL 75-2) equipped with pallet forks. Carefully position the forks under the main skid steer's frame, ensuring stability. Lift the machine sufficiently high to allow clearance for track removal and installation. Once lifted, place sturdy concrete blocks or wood cribbing under the machine's frame to support its weight, ensuring it is stable and secure before proceeding.

Goal: Elevate the skid steer for track access and safety

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Blocks — Supporting the lifted skid steer
  • Kubota SVL 97-2 Skid Steer Loader Kubota — The main machine being lifted

then they flush it Alex has swapping tracks down to a science in fact on the cat skid loader which is now actually sold he could swap them tracks out in 15 minutes per side by himself with no issues with this new Kabota svl 97-2 the biggest challenge is this is a fit big fat heavy machine we're talking about a loader that comes in close to 12,000 or more pounds so this is our biggest heaviest loader and we got to get it up off from the ground so let's see how that goes kot get so heavy the other kot can't lift it SOA to try come some ideas try get time to do some sketchy stuff sketchy stuff sketchy stuff time to do some sketchy stuff if you haven't done sketchy stuff then you're not in construction but still there's times when we even got to reel our guys in it's like come on man don't do that don't do this do that you'll hear you'll hear Alex yelling at Zach about that in
