Real-world problem-solving with honest commentary on what went wrong and what held up. Best for owners tackling similar rural land-access drainage projects.
An owner-operator channel where two brothers document hands-on property improvement projects, so the perspective is practical and first-person rather than sales-oriented.
It took about an hour and 15 minutes with the two tractors, and they felt good about how it packed in with six to eight inches of dirt on top.
They went through about 35 60-pound bags of concrete, using a Harbor Freight electric mixer, mixing about a bag at a time into a five gallon bucket.
The 24-inch culvert washed out after a storm, and the narrow box blade pass limited what could cross, so a no-till drill, sawmill, and side by side could not get through.
