Everything Compact Tractor
A lot of compact tractor owners struggle to know when their front loader bucket is actually level on the ground. Most tractors already have a bucket level indicator, but many people don’t realize how it works—or even that it’s there.
In this video, I walk through how a tractor bucket level indicator works, how to read it correctly, and how it helps with grading, backfilling, and loader work without gouging or uneven cuts. Once you understand this simple feature, using a compact tractor front loader becomes faster, easier, and more accurate.
If you’re new to compact tractors or want better control of your loader bucket, this is a must-know tip.

💬 Question for you:
Did your tractor come with a bucket level indicator—and do you actually use it?

Why You Should Never Drive a Tractor Too Close to a Trench
When we’re working around trenches or ditches, it’s easy to think, “The ground looks solid — I’ll be fine.”
But what we see on the surface doesn’t always tell the whole story.
The soil beside a trench loses support the moment it’s cut. Moisture, vibration, and settling can all weaken the edge without any visible signs. A compact tractor doesn’t need to fall far — even a small collapse can pull the machine sideways before you have time to react.
That’s why keeping a safe distance from trench edges is one of the simplest and most important habits you can build.
It protects you, your equipment, and the work you’re trying to get done.
If you’ve got your own tips or experiences working near trenches, share them below — we learn best when we learn together. 👍
Stay safe and keep those tractors rolling the right way.

This “low hours” tractor tells a story most sellers never mention…
One rollover. Bent front-end loader. Dented hood. Twisted steering wheel.
And the saddest part? The ROPS was down and the seat belt was never used.
I just posted a new PSA video showing the real damage from a single compact tractor rollover — and why ROPS + seat belt aren’t optional.
If you run a compact tractor, front-end loader, or any small farm equipment, this is a must-watch.

Let’s keep the compact tractor community safe.
ROPS UP & BUCKLE UP. Every time.
