With the digging arm or implement on the ground, check the gauge to make sure oil levels are full. Also keep in mind when running a new attachment for the first time, this attachment just might take enough hydraulic oil from your mach...

    I forgot to mention a few more things. You had better be very careful dumping any load that is not on a completely flat surface. I had the machine for about one hour and a friend of mine was testing it out moving some dirt on my property, he rolled it over to about 45 degrees. The only reason it didn’t go completely over was the bucket caught the dirt pile and stopped it. I pulled it back over with my tractor. There is something very strange in the movement in the front axil due to the rotating connecting pivot in the front end. I was on somewhat sloped ground moving brush very carefully and low to the ground and still managed to pick up one front wheel off the ground 4 times. The pivot should have been designed with a torsion type of resistance to help resist the rolling movement of the front in relation to the back end. I am probably going to load the front tires to help keep them on the ground. Another issue is with the mechanism used to lift the loader bucket. I found that if you try to back drag the bucket it actually flexes and will not hold firm. I looked it over and could not figure out how it is able to do this other than having so many linkages that each one of them contribute to the flex. It does come in handy if you roll the bucket completely forward and forward drag the bucket to level ground. It doesn’t jam the bucket due to the flex. Over time this may hurt the linkages due to the leverage on them. The wheel base is very narrow with no capability to move them out. With the onset of emissions control, it is necessary for the engines to run hard at high throttle to clear the particulates from the system. On this machine, the only time it is at high throttle is in low gear. In high gear you can’t throttle it or you will loose control. In the end this is not good for the life of the emissions system to work properly. In conclusion I would have to say it is a very nice machine if you want to stay warm with great views while deer hunting. If you want to use it for what it was designed for you better stay on flat smooth ground so you don’t kill yourself or destroy the machine. This is the result of some very good concepts that were not tested in real life. Get with the program Kubota!

  • @daniels98
    @daniels98 3 месяца назад

    You forgot the biggest downside of the new unit, it only has a high low transmission. I use mine around the farm. The low is for picking up piles and is too slow trying to move any distance. The high is uncontrollable on just about any surface except flat like a road. I have tried to keep most of my foot off the pedal so I can control it better. It doesn’t work. I am considering putting in a throttle knob to control it better or just getting rid of the machine all together . What idiot engineer decided to get rid of the 5 speed transmission. I can say that being I am a engineer myself. Sometimes I think they don’t bother even testing there design out before dumping it on a bunch of suckers like myself.

Any advice on how to release that pressure? We tried the same method but didn't work. Since it's a slightly different machine, maybe it's a different way.

    • @1stchoiceequipment136

    • @1stchoiceequipment136

      There is not one right answer. We recommend basing it on your location and type of dig requirements are most popular. The U48 has a little more reach and lift capabilities but the 40 has 6" more dig depth. If there are more homeowners renting then the U48 might be better with the zero tail swing.

    Would the k008 be able to lift a 200 lb log?

    • @1stchoiceequipment136
      @1stchoiceequipment136 4 месяца назад

      The short answer is yes. The more detailed answer is how far is your reach and how high do you need to lift. According to the specs it should lift 330 lbs with the blade down over the front at the longest arm reach, but it is always dependent on the lift height.

    This video does not say how hot to run the machine or for how long. If you have smoke billowing out of the machine, and the smoke goes from black to white after a time, congrats, you've just run all of your oil out of the machine and need a new motor. The machine should automatically start the regen process. It should regen for a certain time around 20 minutes and get your machine hot to a certain temperature according to your owners manual which you should read thoroughly. Do not hit the switch to delay the regen. Just let it do its thing.... and read the operation manual thoroughly!

Cant this be done with the same type of electronic diverter valve that many other machines (especially tractors for loader/grapple ops)?

    • @1stchoiceequipment136
      @1stchoiceequipment136 5 месяцев назад

      We agree that this is not a new concept and is part of the development process on small excavators. We also have to consider the engineering, mechanics and costs added to the machine. Kubota is usually not the first to the dance, however they will develop a product that is reliable. Thanks for the input.

    I’ll give you a track nightmare story. I rented a John Deere 333G with 60 hours on it. They sent the machine with a tooth bucket that was 20” narrower than the tracks. It is supposed to have an 84” or wider bucket and not a 64” bucket. I was digging a trench and as I got deeper I heard the tracks grinding and sounding like they were coming off. Eventually one did and it wedged so hard toward the machine that it shredded 3” off the inside of the track. Mechanic came out and after 2 hours we got it back on and he left. And hour later the other side came off and also shredded but I figured out the problem. When the bucket is too narrow and you’re digging, it creates a slope because the tracks are half on high ground and half hanging over where the bucket dug. This forces the tracks to camber inward and when carrying a load, it shreds the tracks. This is also a bad design as they could put rollers between the track and the side to prevent the track from coming off and shredding.

    How will the R640 handle a hydraulic powered brush hog with skid steer attachment? The one I'm considering requires 15 GPM of flow. The R640 is rated for 17.8GPM but I'm guessing that's with the engine revving up? Would the use of the inching pedal allow me to use this attachment to get the engine RPM's up without having the machine move forward to quickly?
