Drone shots give scale. The creator addresses R4 tire skeptics, mentions a sapling getting stuck in the pedals, and notes equipment limits honestly. Best for RK55 owners curious how the tractor handles actual land-clearing in wet conditions.
Posted by the Swift Outdoors channel, appearing to be an owner-operator documenting real property projects rather than a dealer or sponsored presenter.
The creator says R4 tires are fine in slick, muddy conditions, especially with road travel use, and that R1 tires would wear out quickly in comparison.
A sapling got stuck and hit the pedals, which turned the tractor off, showing the need for a skid plate to avoid sticks and debris.
It made good progress for a tractor, though the creator notes a skid loader or heavy equipment would likely work better for this kind of task.
