Overview
This video focuses on one specific task: using a box blade to dig a drainage swale, with the operator explaining why he chose the box blade over available alternatives like a skid steer. The main technique highlighted is hydraulic top-and-tilt adjustment, changing blade angle front-to-back and side-to-side without leaving the seat. Best for owners curious about what a box blade can do beyond basic grading.
Rockhill Farm is an owner-operator channel that documents real on-property and paid jobs with their own equipment, so expect practical, hands-on perspective rather than a sales pitch.
