How to use a Land Plane and a Tractor to build a proper Drainage Ditch

Tony works through a real drainage problem around a pole barn under construction, showing how he sequences multiple implements, backhoe, tiller, and land plane, to cut and shape a gravel-hard clay ditch after 42 dry days. He explains grade decisions with actual measurements (8- and 12-inch drops), improvises when the loader risks bending, and adds a sump for sediment. Best for owners tackling similar site-drainage work.
