My John Deer Horror Story | Working the Deere today on the Farm!
What happens here
The operator engages the PTO and increases the engine RPM to provide maximum hydraulic flow and torque to the backhoe. He then positions himself in the backhoe seat, lowers the outriggers to stabilize the tractor, and begins operating the backhoe. Using the two main control levers and the foot pedal for the hydraulic thumb, he digs into the clogged seasonal wash. He carefully removes layers of leaves, mud, and various debris until the 24-inch buried pipe is fully exposed and clear, allowing water to flow unimpeded.
Goal: Unclog the buried pipe and restore water flow.
