What did I just buy?!?

What happens here

Position the Gravely Atlas UTV next to a pile of sand. Use a mini skid steer (Carbon 33T Cast Loaders) equipped with a snow bucket to scoop and load the sand into the UTV's dump bed. Fill the UTV's bed with multiple large scoops of sand, ensuring the load is substantial. The UTV's powerful hydraulics should be able to manage lifting and carrying this heavy load, even causing the UTV to 'squat' slightly.

Goal: Use a mini skid steer to load a large quantity of fine beach sand into the UTV's dump bed, demonstrating the UTV's capacity for heavy material transport.

Tools and materials

  • Gravely Atlas JSV 3400XD UTV
  • Sand

we were working at the the hoarder's house and I was moving that garbage around for Frankie I discovered this super fine sand buried underground and I asked Frankie if I could have some and he told me to take all I wanted so in Wednesday's video not today but coming up in 2 days I'm going to show you a really cool technique I use right here that an old army engineer taught me how to harvest a lot of material just using a skid loader without creating sharp blank blanks Banks or Bluffs where animals or people could fall in so that'll be on Wednesday it's pretty cool but I've got to get the material here so I'm figuring I'm hauling around 9 ton per load which is overloaded for a dump trailer I mean really it is but that's the beautiful part about Backcountry gravel roads you can get away with stuff that you normally couldn't tikos that's but that's what they call us tikos not Tas I think tinga is a Mexican taco all right next up we're going to start loading up the Gravely and bringing it down to the bottom I can't get the dump trailer down there she would get stuck I know cuz I tried once and it got buried that was a fun day oh she got buried after the axles okay so this is the first load and I figure here's the way I look at it that mini loader can go down all the way down and back up without damaging the turf I know that so the gravely's got to haul more than the mini loader and at first I put on two scoops cuz I'm figuring it's twice as fast by the end of this video you guys we're going to be putting a lot more than two scoops on he'll count it but I think I was up to Four Scoops just and watch as I'm loading you'll see scenes where the gra just all right guys so we're in the cab of the mini and I've absolutely loved this machine it's not big it's not really like powerful it's just handy such a handy little that's a big that's a big load of sand so it's a little trick to get it to actually lift up it's too much for this machine to be quite Frank with you but you can still get it to do it so the trick is this machine actually has more up and down Force so going up and down then it does curling Force don't know why so when you're trying to get pick up more than really what it should do you start lifting up and as you're lifting up then you can start curling in because you're taking as you're lifting up you're taking the weight of the pile off from the bucket it's weird weird weird but it works works works let me show you what it be oh wait a minute maybe on…
