You see actual backhoe operation by someone admittedly rusty on the controls, practical hole-digging technique, and a casual L3301-vs-B2601 size comparison. Best for owners curious how a compact backhoe handles a repetitive planting job.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on DIY and land-management projects from his own farm property, with no apparent commercial affiliation.
The host dug another 23 holes in about an hour, maybe even less, while working down the line of flagged spots.
The host flattened the bottom of each hole, making sure it was no more than about ten inches deep, and sized it to adjust the plant.
The host says it is still a compact tractor though bigger than his B2601, with more power but not too big, and the bucket was just right for digging the holes.
The host found it better to not be right over the work, giving some space since the backhoe has a nice reach, for more control.
