It shows the front loader moving compost off a trailer and the tiller mixing it into sandy soil, plus a mention of compost costing about $58 per cubic yard. Useful for owners curious how the loader-and-tiller combo handles actual garden prep work, not tractor shopping.

Use the front bucket to dump compost off a trailer onto the garden plot, then till it into the sandy soil with the RT3042 tiller until the soil turns dark and even.
The compost shown costs about 58 dollars per cubic yard, and four cubic yards were hauled on the trailer for this job.
Yes, the video shows the tractor and tiller combo spreading compost from a trailer and tilling it into sandy soil until it becomes dark, ready-to-plant soil.
