How NOT to run a skid steer

3 ways a skid steer can roll over. 1 failsafe way to stop problems. PLUS easily avoidable ways to keep out of trouble. & grading, back dragging, spreading and moving material.

I use a skiddy almost every day and it is refreshing when you have a mentor who is calm, collected, and respectful when teaching how to operate the new generation of operators. Good on you man.

I used to ride on skid steers in my dad's lap until I was about 7 or 8, and then he told me I was too big for that and taught me how to run it. To this day they're my favorite machines to run. Glad to see you're training your kid, thanks for bringing us on the ride!

As someone wanting to learn, great explanations. So great to see someone pass on years of knowledge and skills to a new team member starting out. Great work Stanley.

I'm a novice... with about 100hrs in rented CTLs for farm/dirt work. This was a GREAT video to point out those little details that I didn't even recognize were a potential issue. The 'direction of turn, and fill the bucket first' were excellent help.

I'm impressed by the way you are taking the time to talk about it and to teach him how and why's he will need to know as he grows in his life as a equipment operator. As always good luck and God Bless.

The kids a natural. I think you hit on an important thing - the video game generation is much better with joystick controls that anyone who learned on sticks and pedals.

Man i just wanted to work a little bit and got brought in by my cousin as a laborer. He got a new job and now i guess I'm running the skid steer. Was making mistakes yesterday. I don't know all the tools and i was just expecting to run hose and be the grunt. Now i'm running this. Boss told me to do some soul searching and decide if i wanna be in AC or outside in the heat with a shovel and rake. I could have backed out but Jordan Peterson said: the fool is the precursor to the savior...knocked over a pillar yesterday. Glad it was barried a little so we just had to stand it back up and pack it in. Things up front are closer than they appear..wish me luck today ha.

Pretty cool, also, no yelling; just thoughtful suggestions and giving knowledge to help make a better operator
So cool👍🏻

For fun, I like working in the yard. You are a great teacher and Dad. Your son picked that up quick. Great job to both of you. 😊

Your property improvements are coming along real nice! Especially the Boulders!

I purchased an older case 1840 never been in one. I have no one to help me and I really learned some good stuff from the video. MORE LIJE THIS thanks

[CZAnthonyX]

These videos are really helping build my confidence in getting in a skidsteer! Thanks! Hope you have a great day! Stat safe & dry! Keep up the great work!

So true “the safest thing you can do is just let go of the controls” I’ve made that mistake sadly more then once. Thanks for the videos you make I reference them to often.

i turn with my bucket at max height all the time but you have to do it slow, but you are a good teacher

[danielmoore]

When you have the property to try things on and practice, that's the best opportunity to learn everything about your machine. Nothing worse than getting into a sketchy situation and getting stuck tearing up a yard when you're at a job site. Best get stuck at home so you know how to get unstuck.

Another great video! You are such a patient instructor. Noobs need that! I know I did when I was learning new job skills. I don't think I could do it. I understand things but sometimes have trouble communicating it to someone else. Stan, you're the man! Love what you do and do what you love. Good advice! Thanks for sharing.

My boss taught me the safest move!! This is so awesome to hear someone else teaching it. loving your work and patience. Thank you 😊

"This is going better than I thought."
...a minute later...
"Alright, he screwed up." 🤷‍♂️
🤣😅

This is the most fundamental most important thing to learn or teach you always have to be thinking 3 steps ahead then when a door suddenly slams shut you already have a new plan and a way out

Hey Stan. Guess who’s addicted to running skid steers. I am lol. Today at work I was running to skid steer when the throttle petal started to stick and when I started to try and figure out what was wrong I noticed how much crap was stuck underneath the petal. That was not fun to fix. But hopefully it will not stick anymore. Have a great day Stan
