My email for any kind of excavator, tree work or stump grinding- cotontop3@yahoo.com Cotontop3 merchandise- cotontop3.com/ My Amazon Store- www.amazon.com...
I bought that same machine two years ago. I've rented different mid size track hoes and decided on this one for over all power and reliability. I've never had any issues with it even clearing tree acreage. The overall package very good. You are right on the power. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. You won't regret buying this size, Aux button aside ;)
That 75-2 with a grapple is the Beez for tree work. I have a 306 cat excavator. But the skid seems much faster to transfer brush, pull trees, and clean up!!
When it comes to tree work, bigger is better. As for the boom coming back further then yours, it appears to have a heavier offset of the boom to the right of the cab more like a traditional excavator. It’s definitely a nice machine, I’m sure with the great prices on used equipment they would probably give you a trade in number almost what you paid for yours new a few years ago.
I have quite a few hours on KX80s the company I worked for had 3 of them, been using KX80s for well over a decade. They are a money maker they can do a lot of work. You need steel tracks on a 80 the rubber bands just destroy themselves
I hope it works out for ya, bigger is better most of the time. I took the plunge and bought a bobcat E88 with the Rotobec grapple. Waiting on a plate from rotobec and a connection harness from bobcat to get it up and running. Looking forward to putting it to work. Didn’t want to lose any capacity from my skid steer so I went with the bigger excavator over the E60 for loading logs.
It's a really nice machine and looks like it can handle alot I just think of it like you said in your video could be big in small yards but other than that I think it's great
It's a very nice machine and it could do Alot for you.! It just comes down to would you be better off getting it or would you be jaming yourself up with It.?? Only you know if it is the right time To get it.!!
Tim the only thing that would make it better is a Cotontop3 logo on it 💯 sweet looking machine. As always God bless y'all from Gaffney South Carolina viewer an Merry Christmas to you and your family 💯
I want to buy one of thes bad but damn 130K.... im just a private landowner and dont use it for business stuff. BUt I still have a million uses for one. I may pick up one used if I can find one in good shape for around 50K.
I got an older model Kx-41 super serious with slide in tracks and remove able blade corners but have ran bigger ones at work when they rent them for around the mill
Nice piece of equipment. I like the beefy pivot point where the boom attaches to the machine on the CAT that you played with back in the summer better.
Most hydraulic motors on attachments use a case drain to get any extra oil back to the tank so you don't blow the seal on the motor. Anything that is high flow will have one.
Had the opportunity to run the 80 for a few days doing some demo on a couple old mobile homes, old campers and digging burn pits. It’s an impressive machine to say the least. I had to settle for a 5 ton machine because I didn’t want to afford upgrading my truck and trailers. You on the other hand have at least enough truck to move it. I say go for it 👍🏼
I like mine. Haven’t found anything I couldn’t do with it. I don’t like having to press hydraulic button every time I start up aux hydraulics though. I don’t know about the 57 but the 80 is fairly rough on a yard as far as rutting it up. Heavy machine at 19200.
My brother just bought a new KX080-4 and he loves it. They're an awesome machine. He also has a KX060-5 that he's had for about a year which is also an awesome machine. I think you should get that 80, you won't regret it.
Buy it before you go home. Remember your out voted 3 to 1 at home 😜😜😜😜 easier to say .I'm sorry I tried to call you all but you nor the girls didn't answer the phone. And I just couldn't turn down this deal. That works better than going home and saying I found something today I need. Just remember Tim it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Lol. GET IT .
Thank you for showing her OFF. Love how the Batteries have great access. On newer excavators my Humble opinion is there is so much Electric draw, with all the power stuff. That Battery will go Dead. Replacement of mine, many times on my old girl.
Having an 080-4 I have only 1 real complaint, the A/C SUCKS. It blows cold just no where near enough volume. I have dug ponds, dredge ponds, cleared land digging trees up and shoving them over, utility work, septic tank installation, hurricane cleanup, setting culverts, and a few other projects. I have found it to be an incredibly versatile machine.
IVE RUN THE SAME MACHINE FOR A FRIEND FOR QUITE A WHILE AND i THINK ITS THE BEST ONE OUT THERE.......NO COMPLAINTS HERE!!! VERY WELL BALANCED AND NOT LACKING POWER AT ALL!!
when I was shopping for a track hoe 4 years ago I looked at everything thing out there, bought a CAT307 E series ll because it had the conventional boom set up. Been were satisfied with it, we have H&R UP here good dealers.
Good evening. 5 circuit's to preset 5 tools is nice. Power, efficiency is on point. But the resetting is a factor. Maybe they can get something done on a case by case kinda deal. Having wireless communication would make having the enclosed cab nice, especially for summer. It's only money. We'll see how it plays out ol son. Be safe everybody.
I have a takeuchi TB290. Moved up from a bobcat 50. World of difference in what it can handle and so much safer on big trees. Some times it gets tight but not enough to bother me. Very happy. One thing I like is it has the strength and weight to just rip a tree apart. So I can sit in the AC knock a tree over rip it apart and feed it in the chipper without breaking a sweat. Cut down on alot of saw work. Which in turns makes jobs safer. Only down side is twice the money.
Tim they build a awesome excavater but have a lot to be desired for their skid steers. We tried one of their 90 horse tracked machines gotta say y’all couldn’t give me a truck load of them. Sorry kubota y’all need some one else to build them for ya
Well you keep moving forward one step at a time , you have the work so why not but there may be a time when you may have to quit your day job 🤔 and go full out on your side line hobby 😂🤣😎. Have fun at what your doing and stay save Sir. We enjoy watch your progress at what your up too .

A cab machine is the only way to go! Cool in the summer & warm in the winter.
That 75-2 with a grapple is the Beez for tree work. I have a 306 cat excavator. But the skid seems much faster to transfer brush, pull trees, and clean up!!
That's calling your name Tim. You would really enjoy that cab.
LOL yes

It’s definitely a nice machine, I’m sure with the great prices on used equipment they would probably give you a trade in number almost what you paid for yours new a few years ago.
Specs show it weighing in at 19140. I'm sure that 5500 would pull that no problem.
You also can get about 500 lbs as a counterweight..
I looked at the kx80 and 308 cr Cat. Bought the Cat more $$ but my goodness what a machine. I believe it has more settings for the aux than the Kubota
I have quite a few hours on KX80s the company I worked for had 3 of them, been using KX80s for well over a decade. They are a money maker they can do a lot of work. You need steel tracks on a 80 the rubber bands just destroy themselves
I just bought that exact same machine, it is incredible! I've 8 hours on it. Excellent machine.
That was a cool shout out August Hunicke gave you Tim talking about that trespasser encounter you had.
I’m guessing that it’ll run a 125,000$ plus?
Great investment to the fleet ! Specially when you put Rotobec grapple with the chainsaw on it .

Every time I go into my kubota dealer I spend way too much time looking at it. They are very nice machines.
yeah the kubota dealers allways helps to fit the right equipment for right applications to save money
Nice machine Tim. I got my 57-5 a month ago and love it. My first excavator. Peace
That 8 ton would be great for lifting trees and be a nice upgrade
Yes it would 👍🏻
It actually weighs 19,500 lbs with his rotograpple it would be over 20k im sure.
Tim let the trigger fly buddy, get that beast, great video, nice machine
I dont think any of your implements will fit the 080 !
They will when I put a pin grab mount on them.
@@cotontop3 does kubota even make a pin grab?
@@SKIPSTRUCKs they do for the 57 but I’m not sure on the 80. There’s plenty of other companies who make them if kubota doesn’t.
It's a very nice machine and it could do
Alot for you.! It just comes down to would you be better off getting it or would you be jaming yourself up with
It.?? Only you know if it is the right time
To get it.!!
Tim the only thing that would make it better is a Cotontop3 logo on it 💯 sweet looking machine. As always God bless y'all from Gaffney South Carolina viewer an Merry Christmas to you and your family 💯

Well you said if you got a bigger excavator you'd keep the 57, so you could still service the smaller yards you spoke of. Bring it home!
I think you are going to keep your original and buy this one. Best of both worlds. Best of luck. Kubotas are good products.
I'd just stick with what you have
Make the move man i have one and its an amazing machine you can’t ever have too much power. I know ur grapple would make it the ultimate machine
Price performance and reliability all good from Kubota. I need a 080 myself
I got an older model Kx-41 super serious with slide in tracks and remove able blade corners but have ran bigger ones at work when they rent them for around the mill
why do i get the feeling it's already yours
If I remember correctly I believe the KXO80-4 is the largest excavator Kubota makes
That is correct
@@cotontop3 those oil filter at my dealer is around $27.00 wich deeres here are about $159.00here in canada wich rediculas for oil filter
@@michaelmactavish4445 that's John deere for you, overpriced
@@jmwarden1 kubotas are might be getting into huge full sized excavators someday in the feature
Tim I think you could get a new grapple that has a limbing saw on it and reduce the chances of a limb smacking you in the face
How much breakout force does that dash 4 have, do you know?
it has pretty good break out force plus there less price then any other brand on market
The 080 has a diverter valve under the hood for the the case drain. The max flow is 26 gpm.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing you get new equipment. Someone who works as hard as you do deserves it. Much love from West Virginia 👍✌️🙏🙏
Thank you
I’ve got the U55-5. Definitely like the interior upgrades.
I cleared some of my land with one I loved it it was amazing machine for its size. I just wish I could afford one lol
The next time u go back it won’t be there. We kinda bought it
Looks like a new addition to the fleet
We have a KX 080-4 on order! Should be here soon can’t wait!
Nice piece of equipment. I like the beefy pivot point where the boom attaches to the machine on the CAT that you played with back in the summer better.
Thanks Tim! How do you like the 201T for tree work and how often do you have to change your tracks on the mini?
Hey Tim...got a question for ya.. I've never ran a mini excavator before....so what a case drain? Sorry if that a dumb question 😏😏
Most hydraulic motors on attachments use a case drain to get any extra oil back to the tank so you don't blow the seal on the motor. Anything that is high flow will have one.
Go back whit the Cheek book and trailer lol
Looks nice Tim gone get it you'll put it to work
Like you say it’s better to have it and not need it,
Tim . Take a look at a Takeuchi TB290
Make a nice Christmas present 📦
Love the new equipment vids, Cheers !
yeah the kx080-4 wich kubota has great fall deals on to save wich im glade im going with there kubota generator
you got dirt on the teeth, think that means you got to buy it

Very nice machine indeed. If I was in the market looking thats what id get for sure Tim! Very nice!
What do you think of Hyundai?
Nice machine Tim. My only suggestion would be to get a pro link thumb on whatever machine you decide on.
I wont be buying this machine and I would go ahead and remove the thumb and cylinder.
Would look good with a CT3 sticker on it!
Would be a great addition to your fleet
I like mine. Haven’t found anything I couldn’t do with it. I don’t like having to press hydraulic button every time I start up aux hydraulics though. I don’t know about the 57 but the 80 is fairly rough on a yard as far as rutting it up. Heavy machine at 19200.
Now that is a nice machine! I could use one of those! Got lots of rocks in my fields to remove. What was the price on that bad boy?
Not sure on the price, I never did ask.
Be a great addition to your fleet! Be some good content on fixing it all up as well!

I want to wait until the 5 series come out.
@@cotontop3 I don't blame you. The 5 series will be better.

Wider steel tracks, those rubber track cut into the ground easy, too easy. They are very quick,
I’ve watched this a couple times, Tim. Mine comes in a couple weeks. Very excited
I’m waiting on 80-5, that is gonna be a hot seller when it comes out, but will be worth the wait
I also will wait on the 5 series
Thank you for showing her OFF.
Love how the Batteries have great access. On newer excavators my Humble opinion is there is so much Electric draw, with all the power stuff. That Battery will go Dead. Replacement of mine, many times on my old girl.

Hi Tim, I think your mind is made up already but! I think you should buy it too
I’ll look at them once they get the series 5 out.
I am still amazed at the amount of equipment on lots in the south, compared to up here in NW PA which there is still NOTHING!!!
I have always been disappointed that the largest excavator Kubota offers is an 8 ton.
Good evening. 5 circuit's to preset 5 tools is nice. Power, efficiency is on point.
But the resetting is a factor. Maybe they can get something done on a case by case kinda deal.
Having wireless communication would make having the enclosed cab nice, especially for summer.
It's only money. We'll see how it plays out ol son.
Be safe everybody.
Looks like a winner to me. I can`t justify that type of purchase but if I could it would be a go.
What is the gpm?
I have a takeuchi TB290. Moved up from a bobcat 50. World of difference in what it can handle and so much safer on big trees. Some times it gets tight but not enough to bother me. Very happy.

Bigger machine, bigger gooseneck trailer, yup that what my 8 ton required me to do…bigger everything but i love my unit.
You need it
Tim they build a awesome excavater but have a lot to be desired for their skid steers. We tried one of their 90 horse tracked machines gotta say y’all couldn’t give me a truck load of them. Sorry kubota y’all need some one else to build them for ya
Walk it over and put it on your trailer home. End of story. Bravo from Victoria Australia
It would look good on back of your gooseneck trailer Tim Why not keep both of them just saying
I almost pulled the trigger on one it would be nice but I'm glad I didn't because I don't want that payment 😂
This Ole boy don't let any grass grow, underneath his feet!! Thanks,Tim.
I had a 57-4 and bought a bobcat e85 same size as the 80 and no comparison way more machine
Got one. I'm very happy with it. Loads trucks comfortably, which is nice. Biggest little machine.
That excavator and skid steer combo is my dream. So much can be done on my property and I can do side work too.
Buy it.
Would you entertain the idea of yanmar excavator or just kubota. Stay safe
Well you keep moving forward one step at a time , you have the work so why not but there may be a time when you may have to quit your day job 🤔 and go full out on your side line hobby 😂🤣😎. Have fun at what your doing and stay save Sir. We enjoy watch your progress at what your up too .
It would look nice on your trailer headed back to your place...
Good looking machine 👍
AC right? Not just size and weight?
Every one building a 85 ,some one needs a 80
Have you looked at the new cat 308-310 excavator
Like
It will make a great addition to the fleet!
Very Nice Machine 👌
Looking Like You'll Be Lifting Up Your Mattress For This New Toy 🤔🇬🇧👍
