Tracks over tires, and 3 must have attachments for your property put to work!

What happens here

The operator transitions from using the grapple to the smooth-edged bucket. This involves repeating the attachment-swapping process: disconnecting the hydraulic lines from the grapple, manually removing the grapple, and then attaching the Titan 6-foot bucket to the skid steer's loader arms. Once the bucket is secured and hydraulic lines are reconnected, the operator uses it to back-drag the cleared area. By dragging the smooth edge of the bucket across the disturbed soil, he aims to level the ground and spread out any remaining loose dirt, creating a smoother surface. The operator acknowledges that this initial back-dragging may still leave the ground somewhat rough due to the mud, and further work with a landscape rake might be needed once the soil dries.

Goal: The grapple is replaced with a smooth-edged bucket to back-drag and level the cleared ground, preparing it for future seeding, with plans for additional smoothing if needed.
