We bought a used Kubota L47 tractor with loader and backhoe! We've never used a tractor before, but we have 25+ pine tree stumps to dig out of our offgrid house site before we can build. We specifically bought the Kubota L47 tractor with front loader and backhoe to be able to dig these stumps out. We also have plans to use the tractor for a myriad of tasks for our off grid house build.

In this video we learn the basics of driving the tractor and operating the front loader and backhoe. Some of us learn faster than others, but we eventually pick it up and manage to dig up a bunch of pine stumps. The tap roots on these pine tree stumps are just massive and we are glad we went with the Kubota L47 instead of the smaller B26 model.

Justin and Lil race to see who can fill in a hole faster - shovel or tractor, and the results may surprise you.

Now that we have the Kubota L47 tractor we continue to make good progress on our off grid house site and hope you join us along the way!
