Laser Controlled Box Blade w/John Deere 1025R Makes PERFECTLY LEVEL POND RIM
Overview
This video documents a real pond-rim leveling project using a laser-controlled box blade on a 1025R, with the owner's wife and dog along for the work. It goes beyond a quick demo: you see the fill-versus-cut workflow, a practical explanation of the laser system's wiring and hydraulics, and an honest cost discussion around the $2,500 price tag. Best for compact-tractor owners curious about laser grading for their own land projects.
