DIY Culvert Installation with Compact Tractor!

Overview

A real neighbor-collaboration project showing two culvert extensions done with a John Deere 2038R backhoe. The video goes fairly deep on practical technique: using a laser and a 'linker stick' to set grade and slope, choosing clean rock as bedding, and managing tight roadside positioning. Sponsor mentions (bucket brand, HydrosPlus) punctuate the runtime. Best for compact-tractor owners tackling a first culvert or drainage job.

An owner-operator channel focused on DIY projects with compact tractors, with a casual instructional style and affiliated sponsor codes worked into the content.
