The video runs through several real attempts, trail stumps, buried lightered pine stumps in swamp mud, showing actual results and honest surprises. He also demonstrates basic setup (stabilizer arms, bucket contact). Best for buyers wondering whether a compact backhoe has practical pulling power beyond straight digging.
Posted by The Kelley's Country Life channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from work done on their own rural property.
Yes, the owner found it much easier than expected, popping trail stumps and digging out lightered pine stumps from swamp mud with surprising power.
He puts the front bucket in contact with the ground and lowers two stabilizer arms, giving three points of contact so the backhoe cannot shift the tractor.
The owner cautions backhoes are not really intended for stump removal, so he stays with smaller stumps and is careful with side to side motion to avoid damage.
