Overview
Part one of a multi-video ditch project, this real-work session shows an RK55 hydrostatic with a third-function grapple and chainsaw (Stihl MS 290) tackling tree clearing along a muddy field edge. Drone shots give scale. The creator addresses R4 tire skeptics, mentions a sapling getting stuck in the pedals, and notes equipment limits honestly. Best for RK55 owners curious how the tractor handles actual land-clearing in wet conditions.
