A Closer Look at Kubota’s New Largest Excavator, the KX080-5

[@reloadnorth7722]

Very nice. It's the dealers that make or break a products reputation. I ran Kubota in the 80's. Great machines.

[@rodneystewart8958]

Kubota needs a 12 ton machine

[@rp1645]

I would like to add.😊 That very OPEN hydraulic connection points is wonderful In my Humble opinion, it looks like you can get a wrench on every Hydraulic fitting. So great for replacing or repairing Hydraulic if you know what I mean about getting a tool to disconnect a cracked, leaking hydraulic line.

[@dozingnsloping6814]

Yes Sir, I agree with you about the hydraulic fittings, one thing I always look at as well with new equipment

What country is it manufactured in ?

[@rp1645]

My first operation of a ( Kabota) was the old square cab, with long sticks on the floor. My Retired FD Chief friend RENTED her, along with an International 125 front loader. His house foundation work was very wet. I had a blast, I thought why didn't American manufacturing make these mini excavators. All the ones like this great machine had not come out yet. The monitor of the machine movements when the owner is not there A+ so glad the front dozer blades are an angel type. My personal backhoe Wt. Is 19000 pounds And it's a 1978 Dynahoe-190 the 190 was for Wt. Of Backhoe plus digging depth.

Yup, just gotta love those angel type front dozer blades. In case you hit a gas line or something. Your angel blade can escort you right to heaven.

How much new

[@kerryjohnson2512]

Kubota needs to add the pro-link to the thumb.

[@mudnducs]

What’s pro link?

[@kerryjohnson2512]

It's the linkage they have on the bucket that allows the bucket to swing so far in both directions. Adding that same linkage to the thumb would allow the thumb to close to the bucket when the boom is stretched way out, or when the boom is up close to the machine. The big excavators have tuem, but the smaller machines don't.

Классный аппарат , хотелось бы себе такой тоже за иметь

[@jackofall2305]

Currently going throught it with kubota, ktac has been no help. The dealership has been beyond incompetent and corporate has basically told me to fk off. Think before you make a purchase. "We are here to support the dealer" So who supports the customer?
