The video shows a real crisscross grading technique in action and includes candid troubleshooting of hydraulic back-pressure when connecting the mulcher. Best for owners curious how box blades and mulcher heads perform on messy reclamation work.
An owner-operator channel run by Tony and Tonya, documenting hands-on homestead projects including wins, mistakes, and workarounds from their own property.
Run a crisscross pattern, first passing back and forth one direction, then rotating and crossing the other way. Repeating and rotating the pattern levels the yard more with each pass.
