I know 3 guys who have this machine and myself, all of us had to seal some oil leackage after first use as it gets warm for the first time. But great machine. We moved about 1000kg of dirt yesterday with only 1 of those loaders and a bunch of dumpers at a event. They are so capable.
@@curtisck813 Just loose screws. Propably losened from long transport to europe and vibrations. One guy had scres on the cylinder lid to tighten, i had to tighten the screws at the oil cooler lid. And my manometer was broken form the start and leaked. That was like a 3$ replacement. I think all hydraulic toys in1:14 if not built by yourself have this issues that you got to tighten the screws at some point. The only one i didnt have to yet is the dozer i build myself and made sure the screws are tightened. On my excavator i almost lost half the screws on the Track motor lid. After tightening it was fine since.
@phoenixsui ohhhh...ok...I had those same issues with my 793 mining dump truck... Not the issues that this guy is having with gears grinding, and I read u have to watch the main driveshaft..and keep everything oiled and lubed I sure appreciate the immediate response because I'm seriously thinking about getting one...the guy on this page said to go with a XD front loader...I'll look it up
Same here,for the same reasons, it's size,height and length is what I'm looking for to pair it with my big ass mining dump truck, but the kabolite 988 looks like a Cat 992-4,minus the 1 exhaust stack,that's why I want one @@phoenixsui
Thanks for posting this because for the price...it shouldn't be experiencing nothing...gave me something to think about before buying one Thank you..I'm getting mine from RcToucan, hopefully I won't have those issues
Great solution. Yep I'm pay attention to what yall by vs my cheap Chinese stuff . That dt and loader working less than hunia stuff😂 I d be pissed too. Hopefully you guys will get the gremlins out
hello for your bucket pine try taking the paint out off holes it might be thick enouf the just hold pines up and thats why im not shure about spending all that money and have trouble right off not good at the radio stuff so i would be lost and paying for help still want them tho realy cool
Who call them that? I mean, legit question, are there reviews or forum where there general discontent for these machines? I was interested in the K988 myself but would not want to buy crappy stuff..

@@curtisck813 Propably both siimilar in quality. I qwent with the 988 because of more stability. Longer and more weight.

Sand the bucket where the quick release piston engages I had to on mine ,it's the paint stoping it.

They don't call them crapolite for no reason.
