It shows front bucket grading, skimming sod in muddy conditions, and back-dragging technique, including honest struggles with wet ground. Useful for BX owners wanting practical loader-grading tips rather than spec talk or a walkaround.

It is very difficult. The creator says you really can't grade or strip mud, the bucket gets a bite then tires spin and sink into a hole, constantly adjusting the bucket.
Start in a narrow section, skim off about two inches of sod and debris with the bucket, pile it in one spot, then push everything the same direction into a bank.
Bucket topsoil from the dumped pile into low spots and ruts, spread it with the tractor, then rake out the rest by hand, especially when the topsoil is wet.
