What happens here

The presenter operates a Ditch Witch SK800 mini skid steer with a front-mounted bucket. He drives the machine along the perimeter and open areas of the backyard, lowering the bucket to just below the grass line. By driving forward, the machine scrapes off sections of turf, including grass, roots, and a shallow layer of soil, effectively clearing the ground. This initial pass removes the bulk of the vegetation, creating a relatively level, bare earth surface.

Goal: The first step involves using a compact track loader, specifically a Ditch Witch SK800, equipped with a bucket attachment to efficiently scrape and remove the existing grass and topsoil layer from the backyard.
