Whats the limits on Ram's gasser?
What happens here
Operating the ASV skid steer, the creator begins to scrape away the thick top layer of grass from the pasture, exposing the rich black dirt underneath. He piles the excavated dirt into a long mound. He explains his method of making small, controlled cuts to avoid digging too deeply into the subsoil and to create manageable piles that he can later drive onto. He also notes that the presence of twine and other organic matter in the dirt is beneficial, helping to bind the soil together, especially in sandy areas.
Goal: Excavate and begin piling the black dirt from the pasture.
