It ends with his plan for a future drain tile project to fix drainage long-term. Useful for owners curious how this tractor handles box blade and rake work on real terrain, not spec-focused buyers.

Yes, the owner used the box blade to fill in washouts and canyons after hauling in extra dirt, and says it did a pretty good job.
The owner considered it but decided against it, saying it probably would just do more damage to the teeth.
He plans to dig down several inches before winter and install drain tile with a sleeve, covering it with gravel and basalt so water flows through without washing away the small stuff.
