We have basically the same setup, but I have a B series tractor 7300. I love the K008-3, especially when people say they can dig faster with a shovel. I hand them one, and say “let’s give that a shot.” I think I have sold a few of these for kubota. ;-)
Louisiana Aquaponics yep they are a lot of fun to operate. I didn’t film all the tree and brush cutting i did with it before making the little road but i done all of it with the mini. The bx was just way too long for all that twisting and turning so I just finished it all with it. Thanks for watching John and you have a great week too.
Wow.. You got some money invested into that brand.. I saw your name on another channel and wondered about it. I have some video's on my channel about my little tractor business.. but living here in S. Oregon the work wasn't enough.. So I'm back to truck driving again.. I'm an experienced heavy equip operator as well.. and I'd love to buy a mini excavator someday.. The grapples on the front end looks like fun too.. I bought a Banson 3510 and put it to work and it's paid for itself..
New subscriber here. I could not resist! Too many orange machines in the same screen! Lol! Question for you. I was thinking of getting a small excavator. Then maybe a backhoe. How would you compare the capacity of the K-008 to a subcompact backhoe? Thanks!
If I would have bought the excavator first I wouldn't have never bought the backhoe. Its just so much easier and faster, I love It. I appreciate the sub and thanks for watching.
Can you truly combine movements on the K-008? On certain backhoes, it does not seem to have any kind of flow valve to have combined movement to happen easily. I mean, it flows to the easiest point.
@@FromSteelToWood Yes, and that's what is great about the mini. It will do two separate movements at one time really good it will actually do three but it slows down a good bit with three. Unlike JD and the others the BX will does two movements really good with the loader but is a little slower with the backhoe. It may be that Im just so used to the mini now compared to the BX. Another great thing about Kubota Thats why I say the Mini is so much faster than the BX. The reach and lift height on the mini is a great deal more too. Good question.
Thanks! That is a real review with a perspective of each machine in real situation! Would you mind another question? Would you go bigger than the K-008? Like a KX018 or U27? Pretty much like you, my usage is for property maintenance. But I have a lot of large rocks.
@@FromSteelToWood Absolutely. But because Kubota doesn't offer a 2 ton machine with A/C my next mini will be the Cat 302 CR. Then eventually maybe a Kubota KX-033. All my future machines will have A/C because it's just brutal here in Alabama during the summer. With that being said I'll never get rid of the K-008 because that thing is just so handy and maneuverable. You can ask as many questions as you like I don't mind at all.
Lots of difference between backhoe and excavator. Size, maneuverability, digging depth, swing radius. Just nite and day difference, two different machines altogether.

I do the same thing, it's mostly jealous people.
I love playing on a mini X! You can get that sucker almost anywhere! lol Enjoyed watching the video! Have a good week!

Yes the grapple is very useful. I love it.
Great little machine .
Yeah, I love that little thing.
Yes.. 6:14 mark.. We're still here watching. That's front loader work.. Looks like a nice Shady place to live.
Yeah I just used it for the video. Would have been a lot quicker with the loader.
Pekna praca👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Good job 😉
Thanks
It's not a super duty but it can move a lot of duty lol 😅 who said size matters . Just quicker 😉
How does this thing do against digging up tree roots?
It does really good considering it's size

I see you have a Kubota tractor with a back hoe? Why do you have both, which is a better excavator? Thanks
Mini ex hands down is better. I bought the BX25D a year before getting the mini ex.
RETIRED 77, AF VET. “Let’s Go, Brandon!”. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT K-008-3 OVER DIGGING WITH KUBOTA BX23S?
