It follows the 1025R digging relief trenches and a dry well with the backhoe over several December 2018 sessions, fighting mud and rain, with talk of swapping to a box blade for grading. Gravel and stone specs (number 2, 57s, number 8 topcoat) are mentioned, but no spec rundown or dealer pitch. Best for viewers curious about real-world drainage struggles on a small property, not buyers comparing tractor features.
Posted by the 70elco28 channel, an owner documenting his own property drainage project as an ongoing video series.
The base stone is about four inches of number 2, then a couple inches of 53s, and a couple inches of clean number 8 as the final topcoat.
The owner thinks swapping to the box blade would be easier and do a better job grading and leveling than trying to use the loader or backhoe.
It dug relief trenches and a dry well to drain a large area of standing water, edge to edge, that had turned into a pond-like mud hole after rain.
