Overview

This episode follows owner Chris through a five-step DIY topsoil process, breaking up compacted rock-filled piles with the backhoe, spreading with the loader bucket, hand-picking rocks and roots, mixing in mulch, and regathering the finished pile. He notes local delivered topsoil runs $550 a load as his cost motivation. Light on specs or tractor detail; most useful to RK25 owners curious about practical backhoe-and-loader workflows on a budget.

An owner-operator documenting real tasks on their own property, suggesting a hands-on hobbyist perspective rather than a dealer or manufacturer angle.
