Narrative

Operator was driving down the road in a surface loader, when the operator continued to warm the hydraulic oil by raising and lowering the boom and curling the bucket. While doing this the cold hydraulics responded slowly and the bucket kept dumping which drove the teeth of the bucket into the road causing the loader to come to a complete stop. Operator was wearing a seatbelt.
