What happens here

Following the initial demolition, the crew switches the skid loader's tracks to 'snow tracks,' which the narrator notes perform exceptionally well in dirt as a versatile alternative. The excavator is then carefully loaded onto a flatbed trailer using its own boom for stabilization. This method prevents the 'teeter-totter' effect and ensures a smooth, safe loading process, preparing the equipment for relocation to another site.

was happening [Music] so these are still the old dirt tracks on this skid loader and after this video was shot we actually switched over to the snow tracks and one of the questions guys have asked me is well don't snow tracks work good in dirt and they do they're actually phenomenal i think they're better in dirt than they are um yeah they're just phenomenal in dirt let's just put it that way the reason we switch them back and forth is we do a lot of demolition and when you're doing a lot of demolition you can run over concrete or rebar or chunks of stuff that you really shouldn't be running over and create big gouges and tears in it and we just want to save the tracks this is kind of cool so this is how we load our excavators i'm sure a lot of guys do it but here you can actually see what we're doing is extending the boom out that way we don't get a teeter-totter effect with the excavator nate just gently lowers it right down onto the trailer don't slam nothing don't jar the operator nothing like that just the daewoo is actually off to another retaining wall project that we're working on that you're going to see that has worse water than the one you're gonna see today but it's not the end of the world it just means we gotta fix it
