What happens here

With the lower barnyard partially cleared, the operator continues to tackle the massive pile of old manure and topsoil. Drier sand and gravel from the top of this mound are excavated and transported to the lower barnyard. This process involves filling the loader's bucket with the firmer material and spreading it over the previously cleared, muddy areas. The aim is to build up the ground level and create a more stable, usable surface, allowing for better drainage and supporting heavier loads without sinking.

Goal: Replace soft, organic material with stable sand and gravel to resurface the barnyard

Tools and materials

  • Drier Sand and Gravel N/A — Resurfacing the muddy barnyard
  • Front Bucket Attachment Case — Moving and distributing resurfacing material

[Music] Oh [Music] now as I'm stripping off the vegetation i'ma neva tably losing material that I don't want to lose I can't afford to drop this grade down too far because then the pond instead of staying where it's at will slowly creep forward toward the barn so what I'm doing is I'm stripping off the vegetation moving it up onto the hill and then grabbing a pile of sand and gravel from the top of the hill bringing it down and replacing the material that I removed it out of there that way I can keep my elevation set without dropping it the great and just so we're all on the same page this hill I'm climbing is again not mud this is manure and there is there's a sling slipper then blank because this stuff when it gets wet and it was raining earlier today is just so slick all right so now we've got a nice ramp so when the cows walk in and out they're not falling over but we've got a long way to go we're not there yet the least we can start to finally see something and you you get out of here dogs driving me No once I get a big scoop of mud / manure up to the top of the hill oh I'm turning around and grabbing sand and gravel and what you're gonna see is there's going to be some vegetation mixed into it and I really don't care about that I'm not building a road base removing anything structuralist brawls with the barnyard so I don't mind if some of that vegetation is mixed in but I'm really looking for is just that drier material to replace from what I'm removing [Music] now once the lower barnyard is scraped off and it can start to see what's going on and I got the rough contour set I got to move on to Phase two which is tackling this mountain of manure you see this pile of manure kind of personally bugs me because where it was placed is it just you can't utilize the barn ear you can't use the pasture because the cows can't walk on it you can't get past it right Campins what I want to do is I want to knock the pile down and contour it so that you can actually use the area the manure doesn't disappear we can still harvest it and use it as topsoil for the fields but the cows can still walk on it you can still grow things on it it just makes so much more sense sorry I'm ranting but I just kind of bugged me ever since I seen it happen this one's a
