Replacing A Culvert Pipe with Only a Compact Tractor Backhoe and Bucket!
Overview
A real-work job video following Tim and a small crew replacing a crushed culvert pipe at a church property using a John Deere 2038R loader and backhoe. It covers problem diagnosis, digging around an unexpected rock, using a laser level to set pipe grade, backfilling, and cleanup. Conversational and unscripted, with genuine problem-solving on the fly, best for owners curious how a compact tractor handles a real drainage project.
