The main payoff is the practical digging-rate stat he works out: roughly one foot per minute with the KB2475L backhoe, teeth removed. He also briefly notes the smoother bucket results without teeth. Useful for compact tractor owners curious about real-world backhoe productivity on light residential digging.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on learning experiences from his own property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
