What happens here

Utilize the ASV RT-75 Posi-Track compact track loader, fitted with a front bucket attachment, to begin stripping away the surface layer of vegetation and accumulated organic material from the lower barnyard. This initial pass aims to clear dense weeds, grasses, and built-up manure, pushing the material towards an existing large mound further up the hill. The operator moves slowly and carefully to feel out the terrain and identify any hidden obstacles like logs or concrete blocks that might be concealed beneath the overgrowth. This phase is about assessment and initial clearing, not deep excavation.

Goal: Clear surface vegetation and debris to assess the ground condition

Tools and materials

bigger job than what I initially thought now you guys are gonna hear that hound dog of mine Belair and in the background every now and then and I apologize for that but I can't take this away from her she absolutely loves being on the farm see normally we live in the city and she's got to be stuck on a rope she can't run free but when we get up to the farm there's nothing holding her back she's off the collar off the leash she gets to run and play and this is dog heaven to her and I just can't take that away from her so apologize guys that you're gonna hear her barking but for her this is this is the times that she'll remember [Music] so I my initial thoughts are I've got to be able to see what I'm working with I don't know what's going on on the farm in the last 10 years since I stopped and well actually been a lot longer since I stopped cleaning it up we used to clean this area out with wheelbarrows and pitchforks and ever since us kids left the farm well they just basically got overrun so I want to restrict them basically the top layer off just to see what's underneath there I don't know if there's logs concrete blocks I honestly have no clue what's down there so after I get this stripped off then I can start grading and then I'm also gonna have to take everything that I stripped off and move that further away but I would just want to work in one area at a time so that's what we're doing is starting with the lower barnyard just trying to get that area clean [Music] so this hill that you see right here that I'm climbing is actually not dirt it's not soil it's manure it's about 20 years of manure that's been stockpiled right outside the door of the barn and at this point what I'm going to do is continue to clean the lower barnyard before I start to tackle this mountain of manure which I've still got to move and grade because the weight where they placed it is just totally in the way it makes the pasture completely unusable so I've got to move that again but first I've got to see what I'm working with down below all right yeah out of here Lucy we have the biggest grubs up there that I've ever seen I think there have got to be at least the size of my thumb I don't know what kind of bun they do turn into but man I they're just monsters
