unknown bobkat

[nieuildigger]

Hi Guys

I have purchased some land in France and part of the deal is an old bobkat kind of mobile bucket. I believe its a Kubota as the original paint is orange but not sure what the model is. Its got a 3 cyl perkins lump but i have no idea what the model is. Can anyone recognise it from the pics ?

what is the word on the left side of the dipper stick? I dont think it is a Kubota....but I really dont know.

I don't think Kubota ever put a Perkins motor in their Mini Excavators, I do believe they always use Kubota motors.

The look of the controls, boom and tracks makes me think generic.

Somehow a Japanese excavator with a diesel engine from an English subsidiary of an American company (Caterpillar) in France does not ring true.

cheers guys.

I can't see any manufacturing logo's on it but i have been speaking to the neighbours and they believe it came from the UK originally. Does anyone know who else painted there units orange ?
