This looks like an active site for Kubota tractors but not much for excavators. I'm wondering if there is a site where excavator owners hang out? These Kubotas are wonderful machines and I imagine there must be a forum for them somewhere.

Thanks

Maybe you should ask the same question under the "Site Suggestions". I am sure the site guys may be able to help you ;) The only thing I know about excavators is that when my little backhoe wasn't quite up for the task I rented a Kubota excavator and knocked it out very quick :D

I've never seen a forum just for excavators but you're right. Kubota make a great little machine. I had the chance to use a U 45 last year and it was very nice.

I wouldn't mind an excavator section either. My avatar is lonely around here.

the more information I can get on gray excavators the better I have been looking into buying one but I have come to a road block for parts and manuals
The mini excavators sold in the japan domestic market just seem to be one size in between the North american models. I have called a few of the dealers this site has recommended but they are scratching their heads too. I'll have to just keep (digging) around.

i think it might be a good edition to an already excellent board to include a section on kubota mini excavators... ;)

The nice thing about a mini is that it can swing 360 degrees. It can get into tight places that a backhoe/tractor can't. It is quick and easy to back fill with the blade.

When building our commercial kitchen, I set the a/c unit through the hole and put it on some saw horses. I then installed the cage and pushed the unit in. I set the double oven stove through the door where I could finish moving it with a hand cart. I also set the triple sink through the door. You couldn't get anything else near the door to move it in.

They are handy for many things other than digging.

Not Kubota specific but Heavy Equipment Forums has a excavator specific group. I frequent the backhoe group and it has lots of helpful people and information.

I would second this. I have used this forum on and off for years for information for my old Cat track loader. Ten years ago I had a bearing go out in my torque convertor and the book and Cat dealer told me I had to pull the rear diff and trans to get the convertor out and a member on there contacted me and told me I didn't need to pull either. He was right and I pulled it out the top and repaired the convertor and am still running it ten years later.
