The video is distinctly a collaborative, real-project session showing two operators comparing techniques, debating efficiency, and using a laser level to set slope. It runs deep enough to cover grade-setting math, tire performance notes, and a loader hydraulic leak discovered mid-job. Best for owners curious about practical box-blade grading on uneven ground.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator lifestyle channel focused on compact tractor projects, presenting work from a hobbyist rather than a professional or dealership perspective.
Set the receiver to the desired height at the swale's end, then adjust the transmitter slope manually until it hits that receiver height.
In hard soil, teeth down are needed to till deeper; without teeth down, the box blade does not cut as much material.
Steep slopes can trip up horses, so the swale should be made wider and gentler rather than a deep, abrupt ditch.
Both approaches worked; one operator preferred pushing dirt with the box blade while the other preferred working behind the tiller, with no clear efficiency winner.
