What happens here

Utilizing a Kubota excavator, the team begins moving large boulders into position to create a retaining wall at the lower edge of the sloped site. The excavator's grapple attachment is used to carefully pick up and place the boulders, minimizing disturbance to the surrounding turf. A Bobcat skid steer is used to feed boulders to the excavator, further protecting the ground from damage.

Goal: Create a base retaining wall and perform initial ground shaping for the sauna pad.

show started. All right. The plan is to do the work with the excavator, but use the cast loader to feed the boulders to it so we don't tear up the turb. Got that one guy. Heat Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] There you go. Good job.
