Kubota KX040-4 Mini Excavator: Taking Out Trees

Today I am clearing trees off a hillside, close to a house. We are getting ready to move a lot of dirt off a hillside, and we need to make space to be able to do that.

Great work. You do a great job showing people you don't need a huge machine to run a business !!!

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. I agree that bigger is not always better. Thank you for watching!

Just got you to 960😂 almost to 1000. Keep going. How do you like the 040? I am looking into buying a u48-5.

If I had it to do over again I would go with a zero tail swing in this size. There have only been a fee cases where the extra lift capacity made a difference for me. Love the 040, no complaints at all, but I think the u series would have been better. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subbing!

Great videos. Just curios what size bucket that is on the ground at about 6:30 of the video. Thanks

[@DirtAndRocks]
