Even without the backhoe, the John Deere 1025R can remove large items.
We were just about ready to leave Patrick's house on our last visit.
He said, "Oh, I forgot to mention this, could you remove that flagpole base?"

We didn't have the backhoe with us, so we decided to try to remove it with the Heavy Hitch toothbar.

We obviously had no idea how deep this flagpole foundation went into the ground.

Even without the optimal equipment, the John Deere 1025R can do the job in just a few minutes.
