Implements & attachments25 hp & underRural King RK25

Overview

A hobby-farm episode centered on expanding a chicken run, where the RK25's backhoe gets used to dig through rocky ground, and the host's partner takes her first turn on the controls, with a brief tip on using slow, gentle movements. The video also shows a DIY fence-stretching method using two screwed-together boards. Light on tractor specs; best for RK25 owners curious about casual real-world backhoe use.
