A fire department in AL recently acquired a SS to assist with emergency operations. There are also documents attached to the article that cover standard procedures, maintenance and safety concerns.

That is a creative solution, and good use of surplus equipment.

My only concern, is storm cleanup usually means wet conditions; easy to get a skidsteer stuck unless you are are on concrete of pavement. I've spent time on an S185(and others), that I think is one size bigger than the older 763 series. They are heavy. I have never been stuck, but had some interesting moments.

Looks pretty cool though, and can't beat the price..!
