Overview
A real-world friend-rescue job where Tim uses a John Deere 1025R with a 260 backhoe and hydraulic thumb to pull a dead, wire-basket-bound tree stump that the homeowner had already spent seven hours attacking by hand. The video is conversational and light on specs, but does offer a practical tip: with stump removal, persistence is the key. Best for 1025R owners curious about backhoe thumb usefulness on stubborn stumps.
Tractor Time with Tim is an owner-operator lifestyle channel focused on compact tractor projects, so expect a casual, experience-sharing tone rather than a technical or dealer-driven presentation.
