Overview
A real-world swale-digging job on someone else's property, showing a deliberate three-implement sequence: tiller to loosen soil first, loader bucket to move dirt, then power rake to finish and grade. The video honestly addresses limitations, roots, tight working space, back-dragging constraints, and compares what each attachment contributes. Best for 1025R owners weighing whether a tiller-plus-bucket approach can substitute for a power rake on drainage work.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects, presenting itself as enthusiast rather than expert, so expect practical field experience over technical precision.
