I've seen them do it many times, but never paid attention, guess because wasn't paying for it until my barn. The guy came over with a 450 Case and in some places cut down a couple of feet, some places didn't really need much, and some places filled in with dirt to level. He used a laser. Got the transmit strobe set at the level that I wanted at one of the corners, then on the blade itself had a reciever with high, low, dead on, and that's what he worked from. Took him a few hours at $65 per hour, and road it out slow watching where he was going, and looking for a constant "dead on" on the reciever on the blade. Got it within an inch all the way around.

Now for the guys that did it for decades without lasers, I bow to you guys - absolute masters.

By the way, I started leveling with a back blade on one of the tractors, but not for long. It became very clear very quick that I'm no master at that, and a back blade aint good for that. LOL.
