It covers how the narrow bucket handles mud and crushed-stone driveways, navigating unknown underground utilities using old photos and hand-drawn diagrams, and the full trench-to-wire-pull sequence. Light on specs; heavy on casual, real-job storytelling. Best for viewers curious how the 6-inch bucket performs in varied soil conditions.
