Getting Rid of Old Well/Cistern!

This episode follows Tim and family attempting to excavate two buried cisterns or wells on their farm, using a John Deere 2038R with a grapple bucket and no thumb, a real-world limitation they work around throughout. The video is unscripted and problem-driven, covering debris removal, water management (pumping missteps), concrete disposal as erosion control, and depth discovery. Best for owners curious how a compact tractor handles messy, unplanned rural property work.
