Using the John Deere 1023E to Move and Grade Dirt
Overview
An owner-operator sharing real homestead work rather than a spec rundown, this video shows the 1023E actually grading, scratching soil for seeding, and moving gravel over what appears to be a multi-session project. The most useful stretch covers his bucket-level indicator rod and joystick placement as concrete reasons he chose the 1023E over the Kubota BX23. Light on numbers but honest about tradeoffs; best for sub-compact shoppers weighing those two machines.
An owner-operator channel documenting hands-on homestead projects with their own 1023E, so expect a personal-experience perspective with no apparent commercial affiliation.
