Overview

Part of a multi-episode spring farm cleanup series, this video shows a two-day brush and tree removal job using a John Deere 2038R with an Art Iligan grapple, a Case 580 backhoe, and Stihl chainsaws working together. It briefly compares the 270B vs 260B backhoe and 1-series vs 2-series tractor capabilities, touches on grapple build quality, and offers tips on throttle use for compact tractors. Best for owners curious about multi-machine workflow on a real property project.
