Owner's Devastation as Brand New Kubota KX080 Meets Unexpected Fate...

[@tomstapleton8175]

Troy great video! Very informative and funny! Also had a nice view of lot 23 at the start! Rusty sounded like he had a frog in his throat!

[@RvParkBuilder]

We didn't even realize we captured your lot! Glad we did!

[@dorothybliskey1815]

Thanks for the Happy Birthday shout-out! 😊❤ (Clever to show Comet Troy as Rusty Springs. 😂

[@RvParkBuilder]

Thank you for your support and we appreciate you!

Huge difference between operators from coast to coast. I guess pay scale says it all!

My KX040 was delivered Monday May 22, 2023. My only experience prior to delivery was 10 minutes at the dealer when I looked at them. I really hope I can get the mechanics of this machine down cause it was awfully pricey. I got 12 & 24” digging and a 48” grading bucket with mine. Have Fun!

[@gregallsup9522]

How much was it cause I’m in the process of buying one

[@RvParkBuilder]

You can go to the Kubota website and "Build My Kubota" to get pricing. The base price for a KX080 is around $125k. Then the sky is the limit on accessories and attachments depending on your needs.

Happy to see Rusty was wearing his helmet closer to his head! This could have been much worse for him! 🙂

[@RvParkBuilder]

He's also lucky the left side didn't drop in the ditch instead of the right side. He would have been trapped because the door wouldn't open and probably would have panicked even more! HaHa

*Ripper/Tyne While that bucket is in new condition, 'hard face' the lip (flat plate between teeth) and the top of the adaptors (the part of the tooth that is welded to the bucket and are the mounting points for the consumable teeth.) and the shins and leading section of the walls. (The edge of the plates that are the vertical walls of the bucket. *Hard facing is a specific type of welding that is extremely hard wearing and resistant to abrasion. You just weld some beads to the surface of the steel to create a 'armour' that protects the surface from wear and can be re-established when it eventually does wear down.

[@RvParkBuilder]

That's a great idea and something we've never heard of before. Thank you for the tip!

[@stevebisbee2481]

Look at it this way, at least now it's broken in. Should be able to work it hard now ! 😆 🤣 😂

[@shammock112]

He's doing a good job, relax.

[@smaggums555]

He could of been injured! Did you even ask if he was ok? He could be traumatized for crying out loud! Cut the guy some slack!!!

[@robertbirch4163]

Very funny video, but you really need to fire Rusty. He is just going to be one problem after another. Does he think money grows on trees ? Property is coming along quite nicely !

[@RvParkBuilder]

It's been considered.... believe us! We think he just needs to be treated with empathy and kindness. We hope he'll eventually come around!

[@timchambers9775]

Lower the boom as you come off of the trailer

[@nancysala7769]

Man, Rusty needs to go back to excavator school. 😂

[@RvParkBuilder]

That was back on Feb 12, it's now May 22 and he's come around quite a bit since then!

[@lowepg]

“Destroys”? - Actually surprised you made a insurance claim? What was damaged/repair cost?

[@leroyaultmon]

He can come out easily he's really not in a bad predicament it can come out easily

[@HeadWestOn90]

Rusty, Rusty, Rusty! lol

[@bradmchenry5880]

Experience worth paying the higher wages. A true operator will check fluids too before starting Machine. Rusty would be in the unemployment line.

[@davecalvo6418]

I wouldnt let that guy anywhere near my machine

[@bradmchenry5880]

Edges of ditch not clean and dirt falls back into ditch while tracking. Dig and track backwards. Simple engineering. Lol

[@ericmaxwell5796]

Use the pedals to rotate the undercarriage.

[@bradmchenry5880]

Have kx040. Smaller machine and I don’t fall in ditch. Hint-dig in front and back up while digging. Hire an experienced operator next time.

[@dekonfrost7]

You talk a lot, and say very little.
