He covers bucket-size selection, stabilizer foot pads as a pricing consideration, and the swivel-seat question with a frank take on compact-tractor tradeoffs. Best for shoppers weighing a backhoe attachment who want a real-conditions digging look.
Posted by the Larry Stovesand Equipment Nashville channel, a dealership that sells this tractor, so the walkaround is sales-leaning even if the job-site footage is genuine.
He used a 12-inch bucket for this trench and says it is good to have at least two sizes, like a 9 or 12 inch and a 16 to 18 inch, since Tennessee ground is rocky.
He says no, it is easy to get off the backhoe seat, hop on the tractor, move it forward, and get back on, which saves time versus swiveling the seat.
Yes, dirt pads are standard equipment on their backhoes though technically optional, and street rubber pads, which cost more, protect asphalt while digging.
