Can We Stop the Barn From Flooding? Kubota BX23S Drainage Ditch Fix - Backhoe and Rotary Cutter Work
Peek's Peak Hobby Homestead· Sep 2022
✦
Overview
A hobby homesteader documents a multi-day drainage ditch repair using the BX23S's rotary cutter, front loader bucket, and backhoe, including getting stuck twice and needing a truck to pull free. The video shows real-world, unpolished problem-solving on a sloped, muddy site, with brief mention of a prior hydraulic pressure adjustment. Best for owners curious how the BX23S handles awkward terrain and practical land maintenance rather than clean demonstrations.
An owner-operator sharing candid, mistakes-included footage from their own 38-acre hobby homestead.
