Didn't think I'd get the old Ford Started!
What happens here
Using the John Deere 250 skid steer equipped with the Titan 6ft bucket, begin carefully excavating the rich, dark topsoil from the designated shop location. Load the excavated soil into the Ford dump truck. The goal is to remove all the 'black gold' topsoil, exposing the underlying clay layer, which will form a more stable base for the crushed rock. The farmer performs multiple loads over the first day until daylight runs out.
Goal: Relocate valuable topsoil and prepare the subgrade for the shop foundation.
