Read articles →This is real backhoe work, not a spec walkaround: an owner and friends use a John Deere 2520 with a Mazzotti 200 backhoe attachment (plus a 2025R with forks and bucket) to dig out a downspout drain line, pull stumps, and place corrugated pipe. Casual, unscripted footage with running commentary on horsepower, parking brake, and dragging-bucket technique. Best for owners curious how a 2520/Mazzotti 200 combo handles everyday digging chores, not buyers wanting specs or a formal review.
Posted by an owner (Doug) filming his own tractors and friends doing yard work, so expect informal, unscripted hands-on footage rather than a polished review.
