Thanks for the review i have a kx040 and love it. Awaiting the svl50 since that's the scale we need. Supposed to be a small 75 so i was checking out your ride. 👍
love the kubotas and slid up doors are accully nicer because the doors on other braded skid steers they have swing out doors wich cant use them with the door open but kubotas you can run it enclosed or opened wich is smart👍
I'm on my 5th Kubota excavator or skid. A Cat guy on a site was in a loaner and asked me about Kubota's warranty. I said I have no idea, I'm at least 10k hours deep in 3 generations of equipment... Never a single issue during warranty... And not much after.
If I’m grading backwards yes but normal shake that all skiddy do in rocky dirt. I don’t have any other shaking issues though or if I’m in soft dirt it’s super smooth.
6:10 look at the gap on those rear pins, sloppy machines. Mine looks the exact same, everything beside the bucket pins is just sloppy. When you grab a heavy load and turn left too fast you'll hear the metal in the back pop, as a result of the sloppy pins, more play = more wear = more slop. Should not be coming out of the factory this sloppy but that's just me. Grab that middle arm at 4:43 and just move it back and forth, tons of play. Not sure why they aren't shimming these things when they cost $74k+. Probably gonna go with takeuchi for my new excavator next year, i don't see these sloppy issues with takeuchi. And we run the piss out of those machines and they just wont die, i mean they rarely get greased, coolant reservoir doesn't exist anymore, engine still stays cool, 2500 hours and the bucket pins need work they are sloppy now. But it doesn't come sloppy from the factory.
Ya I was very unimpressed with the JCb. Especially for a machine that costs more than a cat. If you’re going to spend over $100,000 buy a cat!!! If you want to spend under 100k and get a great matching buy the Kubota.
Great review man - i just hit 300 hrs on mine and its been great ! The door is a game changer if u ask me.. I did a review on mine too.. ua-cam.com/video/B60iM495PxI/v-deo.html

I just got one as well…does yours shake at all if you put a little down force to the ground with the bucket and lift the front of the tracks?
I’ll be doing one of the kx040-4/5 in a couple of days.

Thanks man, looking at compact tracker loader for the farm… heavy lean toward 75-3, this video helps a lot!
Glad it helped!
Im 6foot 4 and worried bout head room with door up?

kubotas are the quietest machines im looking at getting there kubota gl11000 generator
Just got one, love it so far. Pretty amazing machine. Only complaint is cupholder.
Good choice! Ya I think cup holder should have been where the front vent is.

there nice and strongest beast out there
So far I have to agree. But we will be putting her to the test for sure.
@@Pinnaclelandclearing yeah there selling alot here in canada because there $15,000 less then other brands wich there rediculas over priced
I would never look at anything JCB. I have a Bobcat S300 with a Kubota and I love it. I would never look at the new ones with the Doosan engine

@@Pinnaclelandclearing I ran two JCB combinations and both were absolute junk.

Ya I agree. As a bigger guy the door has been very nice and I just can’t believe how much I actually like that aspect of it.
I also watch all your vids too. It’s helped in my research.
The door is a game changer
