    Im looking right now at buying a new SK130LC-11. What do you think of it? Likes or dislikes. More importantly you seam to be running a few different Kobelco's. How do you like the brand? I live and work 2hrs from a dealer and need to avoid having issues with a machine.

    • @therowdyexcavator
      @therowdyexcavator Год назад

      They are great machines. That 130 is really good bang for the buck. Has lots of power for its size. The only thing that I don't like is that the joysticks and seat are all one unit. So if things get rough the machine will start doing the happy dance. But that is something that Kobelco is aware of the issue and making the controls less sensitive. I didn't have the chance to show on the channel but the 130 also comes with the up down blade option which I would get if it was me. That bring said, if I had the option I would get a Kobelco any day, they are fuel efficient, comfortable and dependable.

    You've had so many breakdowns I agree with Todd, that rental should be on the house. That's completely unacceptable with how much money is being lost due to down time. It also causes you to have to do damage control with clients who may have less than ideal opinions of you because your stuff keeps breaking down...even though it's not your stuff.
