    Just drove my first skid steer yesterday. It was a blast. Wish the cab was enclosed like this one lol I turned a darker shade of brown.

    I have to compliment you on your verbal and visual training skills. And thank you for the tips. Super helpful video.
  • Hey boys, its your buddy from the Backhoe video again. You were right, 2021 is my year, what a time to be alive in this minty John Deere Backhoe. Im still stuck facing forward, however its the little challenges in life that define us, ive since eaten most if the rubber flooring and most of the steering wheel. In the words of Nickelback "And they say a Hero an see is, im not going to stand here and wait" to be honest boys, neither can we. In my newly found freedoms ive slept late, played tick tac toe by myself and not had to hear my wife rant about the Christmas tree. Ive also not showered in quite some time, but its ok I hope to develop a way to get diesel out of the fuel tank and lather myself in that. This could be long term boys... I would also like to point out that Randys tie in the last video was absolutely MAJESTIC as a white beach sunrise. how he keeps the ladies off is beyond me, might have to push them away with the backhoe part of the tractor, I suggest watching that video again if you do that, don't be like me. I'll leave with a final quote my great, great, grand paw paw told me, "Sean the difference between a battery and a women is one has a positive side" finer words have never been spoken paw paw. Till the next chapter boys, keep the safety videos rolling.

    Heavy equipment learning has helped me use a Kubota Skid Steer, and a mini excavator! Thank you for all the effort you all put in your videos!
  • @Levi_shep
    Your videos teach me more than anyone on my jobsite does. Thank you for this awesome resource!

    I'm mainly watching this so I can quickly out perform the other skid steer operator on my crew. Because he has a major superiority complex, despite his relatively minimal experience in equipment. Which he's not even that proficient at it, being one of the slower guys on site, whilst also making tons of excess movement. And this is the person that's supposed to be my instructor.

    Worth learning about these skills 👌 . Kudos
  • @josephconti9655
    Really have been getting into these videos! I just started with the local 138 heavy equipment apprentice program and just getting a jump start on my knowledge ! :)
  • Great video! I wish I had videos 20 years ago. I learned how to operate a skid steer by letting the machine beat the crap out of me..🤣 I was handed a set of keys and was told to move a pile of dirt from one area to another, the whole time I was being yelled at for tearing up the job site. My foreman was laughing! At the end of the day he said I did a great job lol and told me the only way you're going to learn is to do it. Needless to say the next morning I felt like I was run over by a skid steer🤣🤣

    I found it helps when back blading to have dirt in the bucket an lift the back of the blade with the front on the ground so it'll fill in the low spots an the blade won't go up an down with the ground it'll stay flat. If that makes any sense I'm still learning my self. Great tips an great vid.
