What happens here

An operator attempts to move a large, heavy tree stump using a Kubota mini excavator. The operator finds the controls difficult, noting they are 'bass-ackwards' (likely referring to a control pattern different from what they are accustomed to, e.g., 'farmer controls' versus 'cat controls'). This highlights the importance of familiarity with heavy equipment controls for safe and effective operation.

Goal: Move a large tree stump out of the way using heavy machinery.

Tools and materials
