What happens here
The compact track loader, a Kubota SVL 75-2, efficiently spreads and levels large quantities of soil across the graded area. The operator skillfully manipulates the bucket to create an even surface. Following this, a worker uses the Wacker Neuson BS50-4 jumping jack compactor to ensure uniform density and stability of the newly spread soil. The excavator also continues to place rocks, contributing to the build-up of the retaining wall.
Goal: Achieve initial grading and compaction of the sloped area.
