What happens here

Utilize a skid steer, equipped with a bucket and blade, to begin the rough grading of the driveway. Position the machine at the top of the driveway and use the bucket to push and distribute large quantities of dirt downwards, effectively transforming the skid steer's function to that of a bulldozer. This process helps to eliminate the 'weird peak' in the driveway and establish the initial contours. Focus on creating a gradual slope that allows vehicles to slow down, slide off (if necessary in adverse conditions like snow or ice), and regain control safely.

Goal: Eliminate the 'weird peak' and establish initial safety contours for the driveway.
