Funny thing is I just watched his 1k hr review the other day...Looking at getting a cab machine myself. KZbin is an amazing resource for researching for sure!

[@timberhitchllc]

Cab is a godsend when you get into stinging insect nests while mulching. On the dash 5, both the thumb design and the seat/ergonomics are improved and much better. LOVING my u55-5!!!

[@tom73055]

Thank you so very much for your information on this model . I am looking for one now 11-2023 and need to understand what to look for size ,weight towing etc . Appreciate your time .

[@AnomadAlaska]

The thumb on my newer 57 is a different design, it seems ok. But it is all I know. In hindsight I would have ordered without a bucket/thumb and got dual auxiliaries. The AMI graptor rake looks very handy for what I do. Eyeing a Rut MFG tree slayer, but haven't loaded the money bazooka yet. You and Tim are WAY ahead of me in hours since I have a day job.

[@derrickpettit86]

They are good machine's, I would get Chris ami thumb an bucket combo, that thumb is awesome, great informative video, thanks for sharing

[@rdemarco0]

Thanks so much for this vid Davin! I’m looking at a U55-5 now and I think I’ll pull the trigger on it.

[@idigit4967]

Awesome!

[@FL_Native_68]

I just purchased a brand-new Kxo-080-4 based on info from your videos. I'm having a mulching head installed right now.

[@floydbolyard2736]

Something you might try to help the AC work better when it's ready hot is to just slightly tint the back and side windows

[@shirleyc7175]

So, I will ever be operating this machine or any machines for that matter. I listened to your entire presentation. Good job, you should be a salesman.👍

[@louskunt9798]

Still can’t wait to see Munchie running on the new ASV.

[@tonymiles3106]

The arm wrests are adjustable on my kx040, there are 2, 12mm bolts underneath the arm wrest and extra holes drilled to raise them.

[@gpowanda]

Love the Hat. You know if you know. Just received my KX057-5 and love it with just the few hours I have in it.

[@LatitudeSky]

Agree on the huge value of videos like this on KZbin. From watching a LOT of them, it's clear as day how many people have gone to Takeuchi skid steers. If I was going to buy one, that's the first one I'd look at. Likewise, the Kubota and Yanmar mini excavators stand above the others. There is always the potential for bias. People are not necessarily going to post videos that make them or the equipment look bad.

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Reviews like this are so handy. Take care & cheers 🐨🦘🥰

[@fullscale4me]

RE: not using a smaller machine for mulching - your use of the front blade as an outrigger in negative sloping areas is big help too.

[@jeffbailey7765]

Good video brother and very informative

[@DigginLife21]

🔥🔥🔥 KUBOTA MAKES SOME GREAT STUFF FOR SURE!!!

[@brucewomer8237]

Seems like using your currant thumb as a base, cutting and welding any new configuration would be pretty low cost to get the thumb you want. Also some simple sun screen/shades as seen in tractors and combines might help cool your cab without tinting glass.

[@dman0044]

Find a way to put guards on the hose-lines.

[@heatherlane9270]

Great coverage of your expeience with the Kubota.

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good Sunday morning, God bless you & have a wonderful day

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Thanks for the video take care of yourself.

[@btsllc9676]

I really enjoyed your review.

[@luc4215]

Good job friend fantasikco live you te Best 🛻🪤🚜🙋‍♂️🍂👍

[@valwillman185]

☕Good morning!🤗🇺🇸👍

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Thank you for all the info

[@robsturm]

Great video -Thx!

[@johnkranz4004]

Nice

[@JEast-qb8nq]

Be careful of the control switch it can move slightly towards the middle and the controls will act like there is no hyd power.

[@rontopping2048]

Correct about height of joysticks, doesn't feel right . Takeuchi, deere/Hitachi more comfort

[@dman0044]

Can you improve the thumb? Fabricate teeth on the sides space them out from that one(?)

[@JEast-qb8nq]

They have two different thumbs you can buy.

[@JEast-qb8nq]

Also where did you buy it. Marshalls is up in PA and they are a Awesome Dealership i know many people that go to them never had any issues in 18yrs of buying equipment and parts from them.

[@idigit4967]

I bought it from Marshall

[@1660SUPERGAMER]

How much did you purchase your machine?

[@jamesdimarzio3181]

How is the emissions? Filter or def ?

[@strunk_adventures9750]

what are you charging per hour for mulching?

[@SCARFACE69247]

You could widen that thumb with some metal work. Might not be pretty, but it would be cheapish.

[@glennmiller1629]

Very informative video too bad you didn't wash it shame on you have a great day God bless

[@damonellis6333]

When you say ford gas is yours a 7.3 or the 6.2

[@brianmartineau5945]

I can tell by the tailgate emblem it’s a 2019 or older so it’s got to be the 6.2

[@Michael-fd8ob]

The taco is a much better machine than Kubotas, in my opinion.

[@jeffbailey7765]

Good video brother and very informative
