That's why (one reason anyway:)) that I'm a bad teacher. I assume ppl know more than they do and/or have common sense & that they'll remember more than most do. I always feel better when someone wants to take notes. To me, & I've never run a skid steer, everything that Stanley taught is intuitive but it may not be for many.

I’m glad you talked about blind spots! Every time I teach new operators I emphasize the importance of spatial awareness. It’s key in accident prevention.

@Roxolyd it's like a drivers license for tractors. If you get into an accident or pulled over If you don't have it you can be arrested

Always special when someone with experience teaches someone else who doesn’t. Patience, tolerance and support are all quality teaching virtues. Good stuff, Stanley!!

Nice video!! 🤘 Both of my boys work for me as machine operators for the past few years and every day I still coach them on getting better. They know the less I direct them the better they are doing. On the days I don't say a word are rare but getting more frequent. Keep the awesome videos coming

Skidsteer/compact track loader is one of the few pieces of equipment I've never run. As far as the machine goes, it's just a minified Cat 977 track loader, but the controls are way different. I think it's great you're teaching the next generation on what you have and what you know best. Keep it up and keep these great videos coming!

What a great video! I was very lucky to have two uncles with huge farms (1000+ acres) growing up, and as soon as we could operate safely, they taught all the kids - theirs and cousins - to drive tractors, skid loaders, front-end loaders, dozers, and more - Life skills that I now cherish, as these abilities seem so rare in the general population. I even learned to double-clutch in an International Harvester pickup with a very primitive manual transmission. I got laughed at a lot in my early learning cycle, but once I figured it out, it felt great to have the accomplishment. Your son is lucky to have a Dad so willing and patient in passing along the craft. I look forward to his "Son of Dirt Monkey" channel some day

Your a great instructor and great Dad! I thoroughly enjoyed the skid loader lesson. Thank you.

Good job Dad and GREAT video. Been a long time since I've ran a skid steer, but they ARE fun once you get used to em.

I remember the first time I rode a skid. 6 years old and it was a blast. Great video on teaching people how to operate one. More folks need to know how to safely operate them.

The ASV is my favorite, it sounds great and love the sound of the tracks

Way to go. I know how satisfying it is for your son to learn from you. Keep the videos coming.

Thanks Stan, you are a good teacher and I hope that your son enjoyed you teaching him. I never operated a skid steer but as you know that I operated from 1/2 yard to 10 yard scoop trams in mining, but any kind of mucking was loved by me. Other than being in the seat, I loved remote mucking the best as it's always a challenge, where as camera remote mucking is the hardest as how are scoop trams had one el cheepo camera that made it very difficult to even see exactly where the scoop tram is in relation to the drift (tunnel), you could see the muck pile but little else, many times the scoop tram would literally get lost, and even lose the signal then more problems, lol. Anyways I really loved your video, it was very entertaining to me!

Great video, love your instructional techniques. Great seeing your boy learning from his old man.

Great job working with your son Stanley. It looks like he picked it up pretty good. I've ran skid steers most of my life but never one on tracks so that was a great education for me. Great job on the video as always Stanley

I love seeing this type of stuff, your teaching you son your profession and the tools used to complete a job. Its Something that is being lost in society these days. I am teaching my 14yo daughter the same thing, how to use mowers, skid steers, and drive our farm truck on the property. Nothing has given me more satisfaction in life, and I'm sure you felt the same pride seeing your son begin to slowly become more proficient on the equipment. God Bless and keep it up.

Loved this video! I have always wondered how to control one of these! Glad to see you teaching your son how to now only run it but how to inspect it before you jump in and get going.

Stand that's excellent the way you talk about slow and easy no rush a place to get hurt just nice and easy

A lot of Ur videos have no real relevance to me, yet I love to watch them. Thanks for being so good and patient with Ur son and not just expecting him to be amazing/know it all. Ur doing a lovely job teaching him. ♡

Good video Stan. You were very good with your son. Experience is a great teacher.

That was fun to watch. I have plenty of time on a farm tractor but have never ran a skid steer. Interesting that it takes about 30 to 40 hours to get comfortable. I bet that is right to really get comfortable where things are almost second nature and you can start using both joysticks at the same time. Other interesting thing is watching for objects or people or dogs in your way. I stack round bales in are barn every year and inevitably have someone come by to "help". I don't have the heart to tell them they are just one more object in the way I have to keep an eye on when backing up since I am not always sure my "help" has the sense enough to stay away from the equipment or guess my next move.

Great tips will be used next time I drive a skid steer.

as someone who has only ever run their own tractor on their own property, and who is also interested in possibly learning to run heavy equipment... i very much appreciate this video.

I love videos like this. Educational.

Thanks again for the great video I have run these a ton before but I have learned some new things today!

I love how you're teaching in this. Wish there was more people with that mentor mentality making sure their student understand how to operate and do the job properly. Make me wanna relocate and work for you if I could. Probably better than operating a forklift all day moving freight. Lol

Great video, Stan. On a past job I had, I ran a Bobcat 873. Combination hand and foot controls. Hands controlled the speed and direction of the loader, the feet had the boom arms and bucket. It was a bit awkward at first to learn what appendage did what but the more cab time I received, the more comfortable I became. So much so that I could raise/lower or curl/tilt the bucket all while turning at the same time, depending on the task. Backdragging was simple, lower the bucket and tilt it enough where you feel the front wheels raise up a bit then pull back on the hand controls. I've never run an all hand control unit like your ASV, I can imagine it might take more time getting used to, but to each his own I guess. As always, excellent content! Looking forward to the next video.

You are a great teacher.

If I rent a skid-steer to move some dirt and level out the location for building our house, I'd really like it if I had you teaching me how to operate the machine. You stay calm and that helps keep the "student" calm. I remember when I had to learn how to operate a forklift at the factory I used to work on at. My supervisor watched and gave me instructions in a calm manner. If he would've been flipping out, I think I would have gotten off the machine and tell him to get someone else to move the stuff.10 years later, I had to get on a forklift at the body shop and move a pallet full of paint cans and the owner kept warning me not to hit anything or drop the forks too fast. He had me so nervous! Stan, you are such an inspiration! You're a good operator and a good instructor! Thanks for sharing the information. I'm saving the video for future reference!

Really good training. Really good Dad.

I subscribed for the snow plowing views (angles) and stayed for the rest cuz yer awesome!

Great video. Being of the PC gaming generation, I can hop into a piece of equipment and be comfortable in 20-30 minutes and proficient in an hour or two. I've done this with a skid steer running a 30" auger attachment, a tracked skid steer with a regular bucket, a 8k lb propane forklift, a 5k lb electric forklift, both a 26 and 40 HP TLB, 4 different sizes of mini excavators,a 8 ton deck crane, and a 30 ton forklift. The 30 ton forklift was the only one that took longer than 30 minutes for me to get comfortable in as I was working in very tight quarters on delicate equipment. After an hour, I could pick up a closed soda can with it and set it back down without hurting it in any way. The 40 hp TLB was a fun one. I buried it in wet clay dirt, which is what I was digging and spreading, up past the foot rests. That was fun to get out as I was the only one on the job site. I ended up crab walking it over 75 feet to dryer ground. Ended up just piling up the remaining dirt and letting it dry for a year before spreading it out.

I used to literally - h a t e - you, Stanley. But I'm a lot like you, and for that I love you. You rock the sh*t out of your channel, and you are an excellent ambassador for this industry. From a fellow dirt junkie to another : make us proud! and grease that machine if you get time, will ya?

I thoroughly agree that's how you teach somebody and that's how my dad taught me usually he just found the middle somewhere where there was nothing I could injure and set me free

The part at the end where he’s getting rid of all the track marks Could be its own ASMR video when I was a spotter I always loved watching the bulldozer go up and down the stretch of the beach getting rid of all the track marks and making the beach look good again at the end of each day…..

I love to run machines. I surprised a contractor who was working with me, with an excavator. he had asked me to do a straight swipe with the bucket along the ground. and apparently, I did it first try... I have also run a skid loader like this. foot pedals for the bucket, so not so fun. I think I would prefer all hand operations, but I ran it "like a pro" so the guy said. and, not to toot my own horn of course, but I have always seemed to been a good machine operator. I own a tractor, a little John Deere 1026R with a backhoe and front loader. its so much fun haha. ive moved hundreds of yards worth of dirt and stone, and wood and Stuff in general around my own property. I love running machines, it seems to come naturally to me. (not to mention I know I am still not an actual pro, but, I figure, give me a while to know the full operations and functions of a machine, and I would be pretty darn good at it the first day.) of course, I do also like to follow instructions, so a spotter would be welcome on some jobs haha.

Stan I agree the best way to learn on a new loader is in a snow storm when I got my new loader with joystick instead of hand foot which I had 6000 or more hrs in in about ten hours I was proficient and comfortable with joystick. It took a while 100 hrs or so to get finish grading down pat
