Overview
Distinctively focused on using a laser-controlled box blade to cut a swale with barely 0.43% grade, a genuinely difficult real-world drainage problem. The video shows laser setup, grade math (tenths-of-a-foot calculations), troubleshooting beam interference, blade weighting decisions, and manual-versus-auto tilt technique. It's candid about trial and error rather than polished instruction. Best for 1025R owners considering a laser grading system for low-slope drainage work.
An owner-operator channel documenting hands-on projects on their own property, explicitly positioning itself as non-expert experimentation rather than professional instruction.
