Limits of Skid Steers, Verticlally.

[redlee]

Ive seen a few videos of Skids operating either on their nose or butt, almost vertical.
Have these been modified with extra oil pickups, are they actually designed to run as such ?
I know most 4 Strokes are not and will fail, just curious. Not sure if this is the correct section, move please if not.
Thanks

They are not designed to run like that.

There are professionals, that do shows, that have modified the oil pickups and pans so the engines still get oil when performing these stunts.

Thanks, I figured as much.

Yep. They are running dry sumps, just like piston aircraft.
