The one concrete tip it delivers: relieve hydraulic pressure before parking, or the implement will drift overnight. He also recommends getting AC with the cab if you buy one.

An owner-operator sharing very early impressions of his own machine, with no apparent dealership or industry affiliation, just a hobbyist garage channel.

He wanted a bigger backhoe, bigger bucket and front capacity, and a bigger motor with more horsepower for his steep driveway.
