Wrong tractor! TYM Backhoe issue or ??

What happens here

With the drainage pipes installed in the trenches, the operator returns to the Gehl RT210 skid steer to backfill the trenches. He carefully pushes dirt back into the trenches, ensuring the pipes are covered. He then continues to spread and level the remaining dirt and rocky material across the entire work area, preparing it for the final concrete pour. He emphasizes the importance of compacting the dirt to create a stable base, noting that the concrete crew will perform the final grading. He uses the skid steer to roll over the dirt repeatedly to achieve compaction. The new outdoor kitchen area will also be elevated from the concrete pad for proper water runoff.

Goal: Cover drainage pipes and create a compacted, level surface for concrete
