Do You Need a Backhoe? IT BEATS A SHOVEL!!

A casual Saturday-evening session where Tim coaches his wife Martha through her first real backhoe practice on a John Deere 1025R, planting flowers, pulling a holly bush, moving bricks, and grabbing rocks with the thumb attachment. It's light on specs but genuinely shows beginner operation: which levers do what, curl vs. crowd, and repositioning the tractor. Best for newcomers wondering if backhoe skills are learnable without a big project.
