FINALLY DIGGING OUT THE BACKHOE!! CALLING ALL MECHANICS!

What happens here

The backhoe is driven down a gravel driveway towards the house. The presenter notes the size of the machine, with a bucket approximately 8 feet wide and an engine of 76 horsepower. He confirms the backhoe is in a low gear. Upon reaching the cleaning area, he shifts the backhoe into neutral and sets the parking brake. The front bucket is left slightly elevated and dumped forward to allow water to run out during cleaning. The backhoe arm is fully extended to allow for thorough cleaning of all hydraulic components.

Goal: Safely transport and position the backhoe for cleaning.
