Our BRAND NEW Kobelco 140 SR Excavator

You'll love it im sure, one your whirly you can't go back! But those engcon digging buckets are useless imho, get a gryb or something that's more like a normal style but built for the tilt rotator.

[@dirty.diggers]

Yeah the dig bucket was an issue immediately! They did some testing but with the tilt head on and then the bucket the way it’s designed you end up having to much length from the teeth to the pivot point on top of the tilt head. It has no breakout force. Otherwise with the ditching bucket it works amazing! Really loving it so far

Congratulations on the new machine

[@dirty.diggers]

Thank you! It’s been such a learning curve to get used to the EngCon but very cool once you start getting the hang of it

Hey how are you liking their dig bucket ? I just got a new 75 with rototilt and their 24” dig bucket is unuseable

[@dirty.diggers]

@@dirtdiggler1980 The dig bucket was the worst part of the machine. Especially when you have a tilt rotator on the machine and the way they’re designed it gives the machine no breakout force. The ditching (smooth) bucket works great though and the smaller trenching bucket

[@dirtdiggler1980]

Ok good to know I wasn’t the only one lol the ditch bucket on this works great as well but they are going to replace my digging bucket with another brand thank goodness. Not sure what they expected out of their design but all the rest is beauty.

@@dirtdiggler1980 well that’s great news! At least they are replacing it for you!
