Absolutely awesome!
The rest of us are children in the sandboxes compared to that operator.

Wow! I've seen some guys who were 'pretty good' with a Bobcat, but nothing even close to this. Very cool!

wow!
i happened across this vid a couple days ago as well!
i understand the bobcat line is weighted 70/30 rear/front which allows this to happen. other manufacturers are balanced more neutral.

Pretty cool. I remember about 25 years ago on a job site we had a old guy who was a little slow and never ran anything but a scoop shovel. We turned him loose on a skid steer and it was just like he was riding a mechanical bull.

Wow that is some talent about 35 - 40 years ago I saw a group of 6 Bobcats perform on Steven Ave Mall ( 8th Ave ) during Stampede week . they were kind of doing a synchronized doh-see doh .I thought that was quite a show , but this guy would send them home crying . Wonder what kind of show ( and yard ) you would get if this guy was landscaping your backyard . Cool

If I'm in a skid steer and it's up on the front tires I would really appreciate it if someone phoned 911. That is amazing!

Back years ago I was told to load a sanding truck with sand....using a Bobcat.
Boss & foreman was watching......and they didn't bother to tell me it had a snow bucket on it.
Loaded the bucket & got it up over the truck, started to dump the bucket....and it fell into the truck !
Sand held the bucket down & I was stuck on the side of the truck !
Looked over at the boss, thinking he was going to be.....ummm....up set !
Nope.....the two jokers were nearly falling down with laughter !
I hate Bobcats !

Your lucky. Usually the sand falls out as the bucket bumps the truck then backwards you go!
Great video. i would like to learn to load/unload like that!
