Fun video, I jusst hope no IRS employees were paying attention when you mentioned how it came to be that you had the opportunity to play with this great toy.

[@RainmanRaysRepairs]

WHAT?? I can't do a favor without paying taxes on it? Using money that's already been taxed, on a item that was purchased with another tax, after paying taxes on the fuel to use it, on the land that I paid taxes on with more money that was already taxed? You mean I can't bring it to my shop, that pays taxes, to install parts that we paid taxes on, by employees that we pay taxes for, who get paid with already taxed money, and then they have to pay taxes on that money that they made? That's worse then paying sales tax at a garage sale. The IRS isn't that bad are they?

[@docgiggles130]

@@RainmanRaysRepairs My parents had to pay taxes on 1.4 million dollars that their client never paid simply because it had been billed. Their client filed bankruptcy and never paid, but the IRS still said because they sent a bill my parents had to pay the taxes on it. They should have been able to claim it as a loss, but nope, they were required to claim it as income. It put them out of business and the IRS audited them for the next 7 years. They stopped paying taxes due to the business being closed but the IRS wanted to know why they didn't have any taxable income. The auditor just couldn't/wouldn't understand why a closed business didn't have any income after it was shut down. The IRS operates in its own world where logic has no meaning.

Ten years ago I designed a 3500 sf concrete patio and walkway. We xeriscaped the rest of the area around it. About a quarter acre. We used a small cat front end loader, much like the one you’re operating. It’s amazing how intuitive these machines are. I jumped in, learned the controls in a few minutes and spent several days moving tons of dirt, big rocks and mature plants; forming a beautiful landscape. Watching you triggered these memories. Good times! 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@LilYeshua]

The most common reason for truck tire blowouts are under inflation. They might be sixteen ply but that's mostly on the tread portion. The sidewalls don't have much. Those axles need upgraded. I popped a tandem tire on my concrete truck on a job site just by going too fast and flipped a big blue shale rock up to where it punctured it. They were using big rock for that site. On concrete delivery jobs the finishers will oftentimes place plywood sheets for the skid steer or concrete power buggy to drive on as to not tear up their customer's yard.

[@captainchaos3174]

Here in South Africa, those tires dropped off by your entrance gate would have been stolen just after being dropped off 😂

[@Ruan850_]

My cousin has one with the bush blade attachment. He went thru our yard cutting down trees as big around as a 20oz coke bottle. It was awesome. That's probably an attachment you need to help chop up the undergrowth stuff, too, maybe not the trees. Anyway, MORE POWER (my name is Tim, after all...lol) Cheers.

If you want to remove rear wheel/tire. Place two or three 2x8/10/12's in a flat stack so tire can climb stack. Pull trailer forward and rear axle will lift off ground. To remove front tire, reverse stack location and back trailer so front tire will come up off ground. (Old farmer solution)

[@dustinshadle732]

I spent many hours in different skid steers, landscaping and farm work. I prefer zero turns, but theyre ann handy, and dangerous. As far as changing tires with it, well thats not unheard of when dealing in construction or agriculture fields. The first lesson i was given at 14 was that all of the equipment has one thing in common, no matter how powerful it is, it doesn't care if its helping you or tearing you apart.
