Covers a specific loader control-arm vibration fix, a caution about overtightening the hydraulic sump filter, and honest assessments of the backhoe's learning curve and practical limits. The mower's awkward on/off process is called out as a genuine regret. Best for buyers weighing this exact attachment bundle.
Posted by the Rural King Tractor Nation channel, which given the name likely has a promotional relationship with Rural King, though this video reads as a genuine owner's account rather than a sales pitch.
The mid-mount mower cuts well but is a real chore to take on and off, especially since it can't stay on while using the backhoe.
No mechanical issues, only a loader control arm that vibrated loose, which was fixed with Loctite.
Don't overtighten the hydraulic sump filter during service or you may need to replace it, and it can be hard to find in stock.
It controls differently than larger backhoes but once you adjust, it handles most odds and ends jobs like digging stumps or drainage ditches well.
