Regrading a BRUTAL yard Choked with Weeds 4k

What happens here

This stage focuses on refining the grade. The host targets specific areas, such as a large ridge that needs to be flattened. He initially cuts the ridge from side to side and then blends it into the surrounding slope by going up and down. He also removes larger debris like bricks by using the corner of the bucket. The Harley rake feature of the Hydro Bucket is engaged to pulverize and screen the top layer of dirt, ensuring a smooth and fluffy finish. Multiple passes are made in varying directions to achieve the desired contour and texture.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, level, and finely textured surface
