Tractors at work...How to properly ditch your driveway to stop washing!
What happens here
The blade's angle or tilt needs to be set so that it digs into the soil effectively. This involves adjusting the top link of the 3-point hitch and a side stabilizer to point the blade slightly forward and downward on one side. The presenter initially sets a sharp angle for digging but then reduces it to avoid digging too aggressively, aiming for a gradual cut. This adjustment ensures the blade bites into the ground for ditching.
Goal: Set the blade to dig into the soil for ditching.
