Stump Removal with Chompy the John Deere 4052R & 485A Backhoe | Teamwork on Our Central MI Property
Overview
An owner-operator working through multiple stumps in a single session using a John Deere 4052R and 485A backhoe. The video's value is in the running narration of actual technique, working wide circles to break roots at distance, using bucket hydraulics over boom-arm force, managing idle speed to protect equipment, and reading when the machine is telling you to stop. Fast-forwarded operating segments keep runtime down. Most useful for 4052R owners new to backhoe stump work.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on experience from their own rural property, with a casual, candid tone and no apparent commercial affiliation.
