My father-in-law passed away in 2016, and we inherited his 9 acre property and some heavy equipment, including a Ford 555 backhoe/front end loader.
He purchased it to excavate for the house he built and the septic system. The land is mostly flood plain with a river on two sides, but the house was built on a hill, and I need to do some terracing and erosion control. I also want to do some excavation for some raised beds on the flood plain.
I can operate his Kubota mini-tractor with FEL, and use it to maintain a long gravel driveway to the house on the hill, but I feel like I might need a bit more instruction than watching a bunch of youtube videos to safely operate the backhoe.
The closest metropolitan area is Greenville, SC, but I seem to be having difficulty finding any type of class.
