What happens here

Utilize the Bobcat S185 skid steer, equipped with Carlson grapple forks, to lift and place the logs into the dump trailer. The logs, which have been seasoned for nearly a year, are heavy, so careful operation of the skid steer is essential to maintain stability and prevent logs from slipping or falling. Place logs evenly across the trailer bed to distribute weight properly. The video demonstrates this process by moving multiple large logs into the orange 'DIRTMONKEY' branded dump trailer. Be aware of potential hazards, such as logs flopping off the forks, and operate the machinery with precision.

Goal: Carefully load the logs onto the dump trailer using appropriate heavy lifting equipment like a skid steer equipped with grapple forks. Ensure logs are placed in a stable manner to prevent shifting during transit and avoid overfilling the trailer beyond its weight capacity.

that's what i like about it because everyone needs a caffeinated carbonated gasoline drink in the morning [Music] [Applause] so the idea is we're going to grab these logs because they've been seasoned now for almost a year and i know they're not perfect but these are kind of a softer wood and so i figured let's just use them [Music] they really need about one more half a season before they'd be a really good point that they'd be dry but we're out of wood and so i figured it'd be easier for me to load up a trailer and haul it even though it's 100 miles then going back out into the woods risking those hills and trying to harvest wood from out there oh these were the jankiest forks you'll see one of them just flops right off it was that tiny little thing come on right right there just yeah just flopped right [Music] off shoot i think that was a gopro that dropped down on the bottom of the trailer this video guys is best viewed in 4k if possible and on a big screen and also i want to say thank you to all you guys for commenting and hitting that like button it goes a long way i really appreciate it yeah there there's a [Music] a little jody that's a heavy log
