What happens here

The crew attempts to move the broken Bobcat 325 mini excavator, which is stalled and positioned in a tight spot next to the building. They connect it with a heavy-duty chain to the ASV VT-70 Positrack skid steer loader to pull it out. A strong warning is provided, emphasizing the extreme danger of chains snapping during such operations, which can lead to severe injury. The skid steer attempts to pull the excavator, initially struggling to move it, underscoring the challenge of moving heavy, disabled machinery.

Goal: Move the broken mini excavator from its inconvenient location.

got all right it broke down we're going to attempt to pull it now you guys ever pull something like this please be careful of chains snapping cuz they can take a guy's eye out or head off fast that chain snaps it could fly straight through the cab of that door so spinning the machine around is safer turn around now you know it could have broke down in the worst possible spot on this job site I just don't know where that would have been because this is about as tight and narrow of a spot with the least amount of access possible but the boys are just going to try to yank this thing out to give us a little bit more room to work and to allow us to continue to to demo that retaining wall this is where that old equipment even though it's paid for can sometimes bite in the but [Music] [Applause] think what back the loader in here maybe loader might have more power loader is just going to spin TIR yeah and we don't need to rip those tires of shreds those things are already spinning
