Overview

Focused on technique rather than equipment specs, this short clip walks through one operator's multi-step process for digging a 200-foot drainage swale using a tiller, loader, and box blade in sequence. It's light on tractor details but practical for anyone trying to manage yard drainage or keep a pond fed. Best for homesteaders looking for a quick real-world workflow, not a backhoe deep-dive.

Rockhill Farm is an owner-operator channel documenting daily equipment use and paid outdoor work on their own property, giving it a hands-on perspective rather than a sales angle.
