Kubota KX60-5 with Engcon EC206 Tiltrotator Tested

I give the Kubota KX60-5 with Engcon EC206 Tiltrotator a spin at Engcon's recent dig day in London

Love your hands-on presentation style.

Now we are talking, i operate these regular but never used a tilt rotator on one , tbh a dream setup. I for one can't knock the kubota aside from limited cab storage.

I run that same Engcon with my 040 and i have the gripper. I wouldn't be without it. I would think that the 60 would handle it with the gripper no problem.

[@Olliegunns]

It probably would be fine. I love the grippers, they look so useful

I've got a 56 Kubota, it's a top machine, not got a tilt rotator though.

[@thomaspayne71]

really rate weaver plant, not many places you can get all the attachments on good quality machines, do a great range of avants and forklifts as well

Hi Olli I'd get straight off that kubota and get on that takeuchi, honestly mate I've driven diggers since I was 7 I'm 54 now we've had kubota and there horrible cramped things for me small machines have to be takeuchi you simply can't beat them ,I run a case 130 e with an engcon and trimble gps ,machine is awful engcon is awsome so is gps,I've run 3cx for many years good machine but changed it for a cat 432f years ago and the cat was fantastic, never been on a nice kubota ,volvo and takeuchi all the way mate

[@Olliegunns]

Have you tried one of these new Kubotas? They have come on a long way especially in the cab. They aren't my favourite machine, and I always thought the 8 tonner was way off the mark, but this KX60 drove well to me. I did have a go on Owens Takeuchi TB290, a short little video is coming soon of me on that.

Get a short stick and put the gripper on, simple

[@Olliegunns]

That's certainly one way of doing it, you're right
