Rough Grading and Brush Burning with the Rippa R15 Chinese Mini Excavator

Rough Grading and Brush Burning with the Rippa R15 Chinese Mini Excavator

In this video, we are using the Rippa R15 Chinese mini excavator to rough grade a sloped area and a path for the machine as well as moving some stumps and brush around for burning. Our goal is to level out this area more initially, then we will either terrace it or build a retaining wall. The leveling took some time to get used to with this machine, but it would be much simpler with a tilt bucket. If you are thinking about a tilt bucket for grading, I would highly encourage it.

Thanks for watching! Drop a comment below if there is anything you want to see in future videos or anything you want to know about the machine.
