Overview
A step-by-step setup walkthrough for attaching and preparing the John Deere 260B backhoe on a 1025R. The transcript covers deploying the stabilizer arms, releasing the safety latches, flipping the operator seat forward, installing the back seat, and using the step to mount. It's a procedural how-to rather than a performance or buying review, most useful to new 1025R owners learning the correct setup sequence before their first dig.
