    KX033-4 Excavator with Blue Diamond Brush Cutter

    I attached my new Blue Diamond 36" brush cutter to my excavator, and although the unit seems to be operating properly, the arm (stick) does not seem to have enough power to lift the unit while it is running. The boom is better but also slower than without the brush cutter running. Am I doing...

    Hydraulic plumbing advice

    I am installing auxiliary flat-faced hydraulic plug-in lines to the front of my KX033-4 excavator to hook up a brush cutter. The fittings screw into the switchable double port near the bucket end, (also used for the hydraulic thumb.) My questions: 1. Is it good or bad practice to use Teflon...

    At 250 hours and after parking the unit I noticed that most of the drive's gear oil had spilled on the floor below the inside area of the track. The front (outside) area of the drive unit (and the oil plugs) was bone dry. No external damage or obvious cause. The mobile Kubota mechanic said...

    Front tire chains on a Cab model L6060?

    There is no fender clearance at the rear tires of my L6060, so rear chains are not an option unless I install rear wheel spacers, which I don't want to bother with unless I have no option. Anyone tried front tire chains on R4 tires? My driveway is gravel, and I use a snow pusher bucket on the...

    L6060 Fuel Drain

    My L6060 manual illustrates a fuel tank drain plug as regular maintenance. Where is it? I can't see it, and how is that a maintenance item? Water removal from the tank? Thanks.
