    If you're digging *hard ground* where *down force* is required and you *don't need a lot of lifting* power, the *blade in the rear position* makes it more efficient.

    Also - never climb with the blade in front. The handbook will say to keep the weight forward and blade in front but I’ve lost count of the times I’ve the blade behind me - lost grip and slid backwards - but dropped the blade to stop the machine sliding.

    Kubota swing pump is 2500 to 5000 depending on what all parts you need to replace. 3 parts on this machine His replacement swing pump is around 500.00

    I have the kubota k008. Very nice machine for tight access jobs. Kubota is always worth lots for resale. Not a comfortable machine, but it will beat a bx25.

    I have a k008 and I installed a thumb, the first thing you must do is have a two way hydraulic valve installed. Kubota only provides a one way to operate a auger or hydrahammer.

    I don’t doubt the kubota may be a better built machine and may last longer. But these Chinese machine are not built for an excavating company. These are home owner machines . I don’t care what you say, it will dig better and faster than a hand shovel.

    @GriseldaBlanco-kt2to You can save 50% more if you buy directly from the manufacturer. KYRON simply tosses a $200 cylinder on the thumb, rebadges it, then doubles the price. Every part in every mini excavator comes from China. Made in China, assembled in the USA.

No one gives you a loaner except maybe Mercedes-Benz dealers SMH entitled a bit are we??? You probably better stick with buying the Kubota for 30 grand so they can lol at you too when you ask for a loaner.

    Everyone is biased - one way or another. Sure, he is biased. He would be a failure in business if he did not believe in his product. The key is this: is he giving truthful information? I'm keeping an open mind AND doing my own research! 😊

    A dash 3 Kubota is quite a few years old now 2003 ish? My 121-2 from 1997 with 5000+ hours is still going strong it's worth virtually the same if not more than I paid for it 5 years ago, original engine, pumps and track motors. The Chinese stuff just won't hold any value at 5,10 years down the road.

    I have both brands of machines... The Kubota will win everyday of the week. Different models but the chinese one I have develops problems after 4-5 hours of continuous running as there is no radiator to cool the hydraulics. Changed so many hydraulic seals on it. The seat doesn't hold up well.. the bolts rattle themselves out for the cab. The hydraulic joysticks will become loose. The Kubota can run all day no worries.
