Read articles →This is a homestead vlog following a day of property work, not a tractor review: John uses a Branson backhoe (bh200) to dig a drainage ditch near his orchard, moves mulch, waits on two dump truck loads of rock, and spreads/shapes the fill by hand and with the tractor. There's real backhoe digging footage, but no walkaround, specs, or buying advice. Best for viewers wanting casual real-world backhoe-and-drainage project footage rather than equipment evaluation.
Posted by the Clinch River Homestead channel, an owner sharing everyday property projects on their own land rather than a dealer or reviewer.
John positions the backhoe, digs out most of the ditch with it, then finishes a small section by hand at the top near the orchard.
He takes the rock sitting in the old ditch and swaps it into the newly dug ditch instead of hauling in all new material.
After each dump truck load is dropped, he uses the tractor and hand work to spread and shape the rock over the parking pad and apron area.
