Which Breaks First - the Roots or The Blade?

A real-work volunteer project at a church gives this video its hook: Tim uses a Rhino rear blade on a John Deere 5-series for the first time, comparing it to the loader for moving dirt and cutting a drainage swale through rooty soil. You get honest first-time fumbling with blade angle and wing adjustments, a frank admission that a skid steer would suit the tight spot better, and some accidental mirror damage to close. Best for owners curious whether a rear blade handles roots and rough grading.

Tractor Time with Tim is a family-oriented owner-operator channel; Tim discloses the Rhino blade is a sponsored product but frames the review as a genuine first-use learning experience.
