Compact Farm tractor Vs 2 skid steers. NOT what I expected!

What happens here

The video opens with Olaf from CMP Attachments introducing the project: to test various heavy equipment and attachments for land preparation. The plan involves digging three 20x20 foot holes, piling up the excavated soil mixed with turf and roots, and then using different machines to backfill, level, and prep the ground for seeding. The equipment to be tested includes a John Deere compact tractor equipped with a loader and a 3-point hydro-rake, a Bobcat T450 mid-size skid loader with a hydrobucket, and a Bobcat T76 large frame skid loader, initially with a standard bucket and later a skid-mounted hydro-rake. A brief, humorous interlude shows an attempt to ride a scooter over a dirt mound, followed by a discussion on the history of Doosan/Daewoo and the horsepower of the machines, setting the stage for the comparative tests.

Goal: Understand the project's objective and the machinery to be tested for land preparation.
