What happens here
The presenter starts by discussing the John Deere 310 D backhoe, a large 74-horsepower machine. He explains that while useful for large-scale construction, digging ditches, or clearing land on a 200-acre farm, it's generally not necessary for smaller properties (like 25-30 acres). For smaller properties, he advises renting such a machine for a day or two as needed, rather than purchasing it outright, to save on costs and maintenance.
Goal: Determine if a large backhoe is appropriate for your property size and needs.
