Beautiful background for this video...

thanks

Incredible how well these little machines do. I will never have a need for a machine larger than this. Someday I will get one for sure.

[@2015_Rubicnn]

Sure beats a shovel and hand tools.

[@fiddlist1934]

I have the Rhinox quick coupler. Takes me a minute to which buckets. I also got the 24” digging bucket and 30” finishing bucket. No problems

[@dirtydiggerm62]

I have seen them, and I'm interested at some point in trying them out.

[@oscarbear7498]

Could you do a video digging with an auger, 24inch or 18inch. My projects typically involve me making a 18inch hole 4 feet deep. Cool video btw, straight & simple to the point.

[@dirtydiggerm62]

at least where I am the soil is to rocky and hard to effectively use an auger on the u10 of those sizes. in the future I have a possible project I may get an auger though for my larger kx040. do you currently have any equipment

@@dirtydiggerm62 I'm shopping, I went to store today and saw a bobcat e10, these 2ton sany, and a 3 ton sany. I do construction and been renting, and live on a ranch. Ideally I would want something to do both, dig graves, grow the pond when it drys out, remove stumps, and... business of digging 18 inch auger size holes 4 feet deep. And maybe once every 2 monthhs a 4'x4' 5foot deep hole for larger columns. I live in hard Rock south texas. I want small one to fit in back yards but strong enough to dig too

[@dirtydiggerm62]

i dont know what the soil type is your digging in. if its soft you may be able to get away with the u10 or you may think about going the next size up which is double the power and is only slightly wider but has double the power. units i would be looking at are like the kx018 or the u 17 if the clearance is not a problem.

[@2015_Rubicnn]

@oscarbear7498 You need a bigger machine to use an 18-inch auger. This excavator is only 10hp and I'm sure would bog down with an auger that size.

[@moe2470]

It is what it is & it will do the job it was designed for. Unlike chinese garbage it will keep on going. I see plenty of 6 & 12 month reviews on the chinese stuff & mostly it doesnt mean shit. Hrs are what reviews need to be based on.

Kubota products last a very long time as long as you perform maintenance

[@slowcheetah24]

I'm playing with the idea of buying a U10-5 or K008-5. It seems like U10-5 is the clear winner with excavator controls. Did you cross shop between the K008-5 and U10-5?

[@dirtydiggerm62]

i did. the u10 is just a better machine overall. at the time it was also cheaper than the k008 which was a plus. I don't know if that's still true.

[@Tankjr4986]

How much was the machine if you don't mind me asking I'm in the market for one?

[@dirtydiggerm62]

it was about 25k

If i come to your house can i have a go.

[@dirtydiggerm62]

where are you located? I wouldn't have a problem with letting someone try it.

1:37 NO, do not do that, unnecessary movements with your hand. Do smooth, nice, slow. You can move or rotate fast, but stop slow and smooth. Right now you are just slowly killing machine.
