Today I'll use my John Deere 2038r backhoe and show you how to rebuild a retaining wall. My John Deere 2038r is equipped with the 270b backhoe, this compact tractor makes my digging projects so much easier. Rebuilding a retaining wall can be difficult, but with a John Deere 2038 compact tractor loader, there aren't many projects I can't do living in rural Iowa. I'll also tell you how much I saved by doing the project with my equipment.

Links to other retaining wall projects are here.
