I just got a new mini excavator and am loving it. I want to take care of it. The ROPS is open and subject to rain and sun and snow. What have you done to protect the seat leather from breaking down in the weather. Is there like a "best" seat cover or complete ROPS cover you like? Thanks.

I just got back from looking at my new mini ex. I found a Kubota mechanic who is modifying a KX040-4 so I can run it despite missing my left arm. The modification was not nearly as hard as I feared. He expects to be done today. Here is what it took. He dismounted the left joystick hydraulic...

I should be taking delivery of a new KX040-4 mini excavator next week. I was wondering if it has enough weight and traction to push empty dump trucks up our hill. We've had about half the trucks able to make it and half needed to be pushed with a dozer because they would lose traction and start...

I am an amputee with no left arm, only a right arm. I can run my Kubota backhoe but it isn't too pretty.

I realize this forum is all about tractors, but we're considering buying a Kubota KX040 excavator. We'd use it for reaching far spots to move and place rocks as well as managing the steeper slopes, digging, etc. They aren't cheap and we plan to start renting first. My question is if we bought...

I have the Land Pride 1260 Brush Hog. I think there is a special place in hell for the engineer(s) who designed the grease fitting arrangement. First you have to press in those silly little white tabs to slide back the PTO shield cover. The white plastic things are really flimsy design and not...

I've repeatedly had trouble reconnecting the hydraulic hoses to my Land Pride SGS 1060 grapple. Each time I've reconnected it, I've had to use a punch to manually depress the ball in the female hose side (female from the grapple) pressure. That is despite taking special pains to ensure there was...
