It covers grading decisions on tricky slopes, tipping concerns in low gear, laser-checking pitch near the foundation, seeding and straw application, and a post-rain drainage check. Best for owners tackling similar sloped lawn or drainage projects.
Posted by the Kapper Outdoors Modern homestead channel, an owner-operator documenting hands-on property improvement projects from their own land.
The slope was steep enough to be a tipping hazard, and the tractor did not want to go uphill, so the operator switched to low gear.
The creator used a laser to check the pitch, finding about a two-inch drop from the house to where he was standing, which he judged would suffice.
After a rain of about a half inch, there was no visible runoff above the ground, meaning most water soaked in down to the drain pipe.
