This military boot camp themed safety film shows how to properly operate a Bobcat and explains the controls and features commonly used, including the Bobtach system. Bobcats are seen accidentally knocking over tents, dumping dirt loads on their operators, and almost tipping over in addition to moving gravel, leveling earth, digging, and being loaded onto a trailer. Also included is a separate six-minute segment from 1988 on the planer attachment that removes asphalt.
