Read articles →An owner-operator sharing real homestead work rather than a spec rundown, this video shows the 1023E actually grading, scratching soil for seeding, and moving gravel over what appears to be a multi-session project. The most useful stretch covers his bucket-level indicator rod and joystick placement as concrete reasons he chose the 1023E over the Kubota BX23.

A Heavy Hitch tooth bar attached to the bucket, used for digging dirt and scratching the ground to help grass seed grow.
