What happens here
Begin by inserting a durable PVC pipe into the heavy equipment bucket, which contains compacted material like dirt, rocks, and grass. Position the pipe against the bottom edge of the bucket and use it as a lever. Apply downward pressure to the end of the pipe, prying upwards against the material inside the bucket to loosen and dislodge the compacted debris. Work the pipe along the bottom edge, pushing out as much material as possible. The person in the video is wearing work gloves, possibly DeWalt brand, for better grip and protection.
Goal: Loosen compacted debris from the bucket using a pipe.
