I enjoyed seeing what the RK25 would do. But as an old man I've learned that there are some things that if you ignore them long enough ,they go away all by their self. i.e. snow ,leaves, stumps.......
When a stump is large for your machine: It’s counterintuitive, fill in one side and push it up a ramp with the bucket. I found it easier and faster than a chain. My 1/4” chain broke and the hook was bent irreparably when trying to pull it out of the hole. With a bucket, you can easily push the stump an exactly where you want it. 1. Break off the roots all around the stump. 2. Once the backhoe can wiggle the stump fairly easily, fill in the side of the hole for your bucket approach. 3. Push the stump with the bucket to make sure the stump wobbles and roots are broken from the ground. 4. Dig the ramp opposite the filled in bucket approach. 5. Push the stump onto its side toward the ramp. 6. Push the from the bottom of the stump to get it out of the hole. This knowledge will cut your time down by about 3/4… you can sit in the shade of your stump for lunch.
I found it easier to fill in around the stump after i got it loose, then use the front end loader to get it out.
Man, you worked the crap out of that tractor. I have an RK24. It’s a workhorse too. Great video.
All your trouble …you should have just made a fire for the dead dry stump and burn it out. Nice tractor!
That's some beautiful dirt...
Fenced area looks great
thanks!

Please use a recovery damper when pulling with chains, cables, ropes and straps. Also don't jerk a chain, slow and steady.
This RK has a self leveling loader? How much does cost 💲 a tractor just like yours. Thank you. Impressive work done. It’s a 25hp?
Don't know if you have added ballast to your tires yet, but it make a difference in how the tractor performs. They have power but no weight at all.
Mecahnical advantage is your best friend. Especially with a tractor like that.
You need a backhoe for that thing .
That soil though….
Rich!
Nice!
Good looking dirt
Congrats
That RK25 is the little Engine that could ! Amazing what it can do.
yeah it is a beast
