#189 John Deere 2032R and 4052R Team Up To Install a 36" Culvert for Improved Access to the Oasis
Hardy Brothers Outdoors· Oct 2021
✦
Overview
Two brothers use a 2032R and 4052R together to upgrade a washed-out creek crossing on their property, covering the full five-plus-hour job: burying a 36-inch culvert with bucket work and 30-plus tons of gravel, then improvising a concrete block headwall using a Harbor Freight mixer and generator. Real-world problem-solving with honest commentary on what went wrong and what held up. Best for owners tackling similar rural land-access drainage projects.
An owner-operator channel where two brothers document hands-on property improvement projects, so the perspective is practical and first-person rather than sales-oriented.
