Read articles →This video follows Tim coaching his wife Christy through removing overgrown bushes using a John Deere 1025R backhoe with a ripper tooth and hydraulic thumb, filmed in real time, stumbles included. It's less a how-to than a candid beginner session, covering practical ripper-tooth technique, adapting strategy mid-task, and using a chainsaw to improve visibility. Best for new backhoe operators who want reassurance that learning on the job is normal.
An owner-operator channel where Tim documents real projects with family involvement, explicitly noting they are not experts, expect informal, experience-sharing content rather than technical instruction.
