This Tractor is TRANSFORMED! Replacing a Worn Out Busted Culvert Pipe
What happens here
Drive the John Deere 250 skid steer with its bucket to the work site. Use the skid steer's bucket to push the previously moved gravel and any excess dirt back into the trench, covering the newly installed 24-inch steel pipe. Carefully spread and compact the material to create a stable road base and a slight humped profile in the road, which helps divert water away from the center of the road and into the ditches. Ensure the entire area is dressed up and smoothed out for proper drainage and aesthetics.
Goal: Cover the new culvert pipe and reshape the road for optimal drainage.
