It's narrated, exploratory, and unpolished (handheld, no gimbal), useful mainly for seeing a beginner's real learning curve rather than a confident, technique-heavy demonstration.
Posted by the Georgia Fat Boy Mowing and Tractors channel, an owner documenting his own tractor learning experience on his property rather than a dealer or professional operator.
Yes, the owner says the 10 by 22 Bad Boy can get between eight-foot spans without a problem, and probably between six-foot spans too.
The owner says he will need to use the bucket and backhoe to get himself out, since he does not have a winch, chains, or rope ready.
Not really for technique. It shows a true beginner's first attempt, exploratory and unpolished, useful mainly for seeing the learning curve rather than confident methods.
