Read articles →This video follows one operator using a John Deere 2038R with a 270B backhoe to dig out a play area, working mostly alone. It's a real-job episode rather than a spec review, covering practical lessons: spoils management, moving the tractor with the hoe in neutral, swapping to the loader bucket for finish work, and a direct comparison of the 270B versus the smaller 260B in reach and speed. Best for owners weighing compact backhoe usefulness on small property jobs.
An owner-operator channel focused on compact tractor projects; the 2038R and backhoe were provided under a sponsored rental from a dealership, which the host discloses on camera.
