The Yanmar's loader joystick gets a brief positive mention but no detailed specs or testing. The focus is the project itself, wet rock challenges, leveling with a laser, a forklift making a mess, and a soggy floor that behaves like silly putty. Best for owner-operators curious about a multi-person shelter-floor build rather than tractor evaluation.
An owner-operator channel documenting family property projects, so the tone is candid and experiential rather than sales-oriented, though tractor evaluation is secondary to the build narrative here.
They used 73s, a three-quarter inch down to dust mix, which packs well as a foundation though it is not preferred for driveways since the dust turns to mud when rained on.
At a high level it was described as very smooth, one of the smoothest mechanical loader controls the host has used, though no detailed or measurable testing was done in this video.
After running the vibrating roller over the wet rock several times, the rock seemed to disappear and mud or dust came to the top, leaving the ground soft like silly putty or a water bed.
