Reshaping the Banks of Our Pond - Kubota BX23S Moving TONS of Dirt!
Overview
This video follows a hobbyist homesteader reshaping a steep pond bank over two working days using a Kubota BX23S with both a box blade and backhoe. It covers real-world decision-making, relocating rocks, working around large stumps, leveling a campsite, and managing soft ground near the water's edge, logging roughly seven to eight hours of actual machine time. Best for BX23S owners curious about what the compact tractor can realistically accomplish on light earthmoving tasks.
An owner-operator sharing honest, hands-on impressions from their own 38-acre hobby homestead, with no apparent commercial or dealer affiliation.
