    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!!!!!!

Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching, BTW, thanks for the tip on the hydraulic pressure release.
