This job tested the limits of my mini skid steer for sure! This customer wanted this steep slope going up their driveway to be cleared of brush and vegetation. I was able to access entire slope with mini skid steer. Although, at the steepest portion of slope I was having fun "sliding" down hill and brush cutting at same time. It just took a few extra trips to the shorter section to go back down steep section to clear everything. If you were wondering how far to take a mini skid steer I think this video may be for you! I honestly did not feel unsafe at all the entire job, but there was definitely some skill involved to know proper angle/direction to go up/down hill. I wouldn't recommend for a beginner on a mini skid steer. This job was also unique in that I was able land or slide out onto the stable surface of a driveway. So, I always had an out once skidding down the hill. I could reload by driving back up the driveway to the top. If this slope was ending into a creek or steep ravine it would not have worked. But, with the low center of gravity of the Vermeer 925( mini skid steer) it cleared the brush like a champ! Once everything was cut down, I then used my Everything Attachments Wicked Root Grapple to scrape the debris into a pile. It was loaded and hauled to green waste recyclers. Thanks for watching!
