What happens here

Using the ASV skid steer, the creator efficiently pushes and spreads the newly dumped dirt, gradually integrating it into the expanding compost pile. He explains his strategic technique for building a tall, 'two-story' pile: making small cuts and adding just enough dirt in specific areas to create ramps, allowing him to drive the skid steer up and continue building the pile higher. He highlights the benefits of the diverse organic materials, such as horse manure, hay, black dirt, and even twine, which act as a natural binder in the sandy local soil.

Goal: Gradually build and shape the black dirt into a large, well-integrated compost pile.

they're always in there what difference does it make you you're still going to be fighting queens and the way you fight them is with a lawnmower and you're going to be like wait a minute yeah just blow them just keep them mowed so they don't grow so they can't re-germinate so they can't pollinate so they can't propagate so the kids spread and grow and guess what happens they give up or you may have to do some other stuff but see now look how nice and relaxed i am you know this is just a relaxing day of working on the farm it doesn't get better than this i just love grading i think grading i i was thinking about it this morning i think that like grading more than running an excavator i've done i put enough hours in an excavator where you get a job site and all you're doing is moving dirt right but you've got to move 3000 yards of dirt and so you're just in an excavator there's days when you're doing nothing but scooping dropping scooping dropping four hours later you're making the same 90 degrees turn scooping and dropping and the dirt doesn't look any different than it did four hours before but there's something about a skill mode that i just connect with and i think when you're really proficient with a skid loader you can do the work of a bulldozer maybe not as fast as like a d6 car let's be realistic but you can i'm bull closing right now i mean this is bulldozing work i'm that you bulldozing do so many jobs when you get past the notion oh that's an excavator job or that's at this job or that's that job and you're like hey i got this one piece of equipment i'm gonna go out and try to make myself a living with this one piece of equipment can i do it yes for the skid loader most jobs you can and the reason i say that is because i was there i didn't have i remember my first piece of equipment was a backhoe big mistake it was my first piece of equipment my second piece was a skid loader and from there i started to learn to use those two pieces of equipment to do everything that other companies were doing with a lot more equipment let's have a lot of fun today all right guys we're going to go live action
