Rebuilding a FAILED retaining wall & Testing NEW Equipment 4 k video

What happens here

After the initial clearing, the project shifts focus to reshaping the hillside. The video highlights a cost-effective decision to sculpt the slope rather than rebuild the retaining wall, which would have been triple the cost. The compact track loader is used to precisely move and spread fill dirt, sculpting the slope into a gradual and stable incline. A specialized Hydro Bucket from CMP Attachments, which includes a scarifier, is then attached to the loader for fine grading, ensuring the surface is smooth and ready for subsequent steps. The operator demonstrates the precise control needed for this delicate earthwork.

Goal: Reshape the hillside into a stable, usable slope and prepare it for seeding.

if you're just tuning in you haven't seen part one I'm gonna give you the 30-second synopsis we were called out onto a job site where a retaining wall had collapsed it was threatening to take out the wall above it and the house as well our solution on this job site was not rebuilding the retaining wall but instead sculpting the slope so that we could drop the budget down and still save this customer's house and now today we're going to be finishing up this job and we're also gonna be checking out some brand new equipment that we've never seen before so let's get into the day's job
