Chris, I like that you are doing like 4 to 5 things at once with the 330 bucket. Clearing, raking, getting close to grade with the depth you are dragging back. Makes grading and shaping easier a few steps later after trees are clear. Well done Sir!!! Work smarter and always helping yourself on the next step… Masterful!!!!!!
