Bobcat Skid steer

A tractor, aka a Honda fit with a front loader with tracked wheels depending on what type you have. These little machines are used in many fields like building and construction sites, quarry fields and the agricultural places. However due to their size, they can be very dangerous to drive especially when the front loader is full and it’s lifted. Causing imbalance and a risk of tipping over

⚠️ Warning! When operating these skid steers make sure you are wearing a helmet due to the risk of these machines to tip over⚠️

Greg: well he was operating a bobcat skid steer on the jobsite with its front loader full of dirt and as he was loading the dirt onto a truck, and how he turn left it loss balance and then it tipped over. We Told him to use the JCB 3CX backhoe but he didnt use it. That’s the reason I will never operate these Honda fits with tracked wheels and buckets, those things are deadly

Steering Wheel Holder

Steering Wheel Holder is a term that appeared in the Trucking Industry shortly after the automatic trucks started making a name for themselves. Traditionally, all semi-trucks have been manual, which means the driver would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the shifter. Opposite of manual, automatics allow the driver to keep both hands on the wheel all the time, hence the term: Steering Wheel Holder.

In most cases, the term is used as an insult toward drivers of automatic trucks who may be making a mistake or rash decision and are seen as lesser than their manual driving brethren.
