Overview

A short, process-focused clip showing one owner's full workflow for digging a drainage swale: tilling first to loosen soil, scooping with the loader, then finishing with a box blade to shape and smooth. The box blade is mainly a cleanup tool here, not the star. No settings, specs, or technique tips are discussed. Best for someone curious about the overall multi-implement approach rather than box blade technique specifically.

Rockhill Farm is an owner-operator channel documenting real work on their own property, with a stated focus on daily equipment and outdoor videos.
