Overview
An owner-operator working against the clock with about 90 minutes of daylight, this video focuses entirely on backhoe stump-removal technique on the RK55. Mike explains his root-by-root approach, offers a frank price comparison between a tractor backhoe ($5,500) and a mini excavator ($65,000), and warns against using loader arms aggressively. Practical but brief, best for RK55 owners new to stump work.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience using the RK55 on their own rural property.
