This must have been his first day in a skid steer

Some weights added in the rear would smooth out the ride drastically

[@mitchstephen5491]

So would learning how to operate it.

@@mitchstephen5491 lmao. I was thinking the same thing. “This is bouncy. More fast, jerky movements should help…”

[@b.p.rwebber8098]

@@f5tornadeau kinda like my style with my 226 lots backfilling mostly around my feet.

Great job

[@chriss7930]

Why in earth do you drive it with hand throttle flat out ? Makes me want to cry when I see this

[@jessebarnes7260]

Cat recommends that you run the machine wide open so the pumps aren’t on a strain

[@chriss7930]

They are variable demand pumps. That's like saying you should drive a car full throttle all the time.

[@sthdz2932]

chris s that's a hydraulic pump but a car has a transmission that's different.

[@s.asodalvarez4224]

Kubota is the best machine

[@buildfabtest358]

@@chriss7930 it wide open or at idle that's the most speeds people run heavy equipment like this
