Cool video. The box blade looks great on the loader.

One thing I learned a long time ago is if you leave the model out in the cold a little while before running it, the tires will get cold and the snow wont stick to them. This helps a lot with traction especially in wet snow like you had. I always keep the batteries inside in the warm to keep up thier performance. Not sure what the cold would do to the hydraulics though so maybe this is not a good idea.

Thank you! This was not planned, had babies almost gonna wake up so just ran out quick to shoot a video.. Batteries always lose performance in the cold, so yes I keep them inside. I needed to stick the bucket in the snow to cool it down and scoop a clean path to set the loader down on just for the initial starting push to get more traction. Oh well good points for next time when I plan ahead
