I got an RK24 identical to yours the other day, did the exact same thing with that jaw trying to adjust it lol it almost got me in the noggin!

That my friend is called a tap root. It goes straight down the stump to the center of the earth and is very hard to dig out. I know these stumps were there for a long time , but if you're cutting the tree down and plan on digging the stumps with your BH, cut the tree off as high as you can reach safely off the ground. That long stump sticking up while you dig gives you wonderful leverage to pry, push, and pull on, and something to wrap a chain around if you want to pull that way, even out of the hole.

I've seen others do that. I will be certain to do it myself if I cut any trees down. Unfortunately this tree was cut before I purchased the property. Thanks for watching.

I've learned from digging many stumps that aren't ready to be dug... expose the big roots and whack them with an axe. Nice vid. Thanks

Your going to love that tractor. They have some quirks that you will need to attend to though. Check all your hydro lines and wire harness , they have spots on the frame that they will rub.

G Garden I had one hose that ended up dragging the ground with out me knowing. Didn’t run through but definitely a great thing to point out! I’ve got to where I just keep all my connections on the foot platform of the backhoe. I love my RK24

It has been great so far. Got a couple more videos coming out about it. Picked up a finish mower for it not that long ago. I keep finding uses for it around the property.

Can you tell me where the lines that run to the backhoe hook up on tractor? I just purchased the backhoe for mine but no instructions on where to hook my lines

Do you wish you had bought a larger tractor? Are the hydraulics jerky on the tractor - like is it hard to be smooth the backhoe because of the hydraulics?

311hitwall yes I have but in the 13 months I’ve owned my RK24 there may have been 5 times? Like trying to skid a big log instead of cutting it in 2 pieces or trying to box scrape Carolina clay sand rock that hasn’t seen water in a month. The RK24 is much more powerful than what the ratings say.

What kind of money did that machine run you? And can it mow with the backhoe on?

@sittricsshop7849 4 жыл бұрын

The tractor as you see it was right around $20,000. It has a mid mount PTO where you can get a drive over deck style mower and mow that way. Or you can remove the backhoe and hook something up to the rear PTO.
