Excavating and Reshaping the Ditch

What happens here

The creator mounts the John Deere 5065E tractor and engages the Woods Groundbreaker BH100 backhoe attachment. He lowers the outriggers to stabilize the machine on the uneven terrain. He then skillfully operates the backhoe to dig into the existing creek bed, widening and deepening the channel. He works to remove soil, roots, and debris, aiming to create a straight and properly sloped trench that can accommodate the large steel pipe centrally and effectively. He periodically adjusts the backhoe arm and bucket to sculpt the ditch, ensuring the channel is ready for the culvert's placement.

Goal: Create a properly sized and aligned trench for the culvert pipe
