Drainage Ditch Grade with a Tractor Backhoe
Overview
A mid-project field update showing how Tony uses a TYM T474 backhoe to grade a drainage ditch around a barn, with the explicit goal of keeping the finished slope mowable. The technique focus is on shallow scraping rather than digging, two inches at a time with the bucket. Handheld camera, no co-host this episode. Best for homesteaders curious about practical backhoe grading technique on a real drainage project.
An owner-operator channel documenting an ongoing homestead build, so expect unpolished, candid footage of actual work-in-progress rather than a rehearsed demonstration.
