Didn't think I'd get the old Ford Started!

What happens here

Transport each loaded dump truck of topsoil to the new garden location. Once at the garden site, raise the dump bed to unload the soil, forming piles. The farmer mentions the borrowed Ford dump truck can only safely handle approximately four scoops of soil per load, emphasizing its 'shady' nature due to its age and lack of an emergency brake. Repeat the loading, transporting, and dumping process numerous times until all desired topsoil is moved.

Goal: Relocate all excavated topsoil to the new garden area.
