WHAT DID WE PAY ? - KUBOTA K008
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- I bought a 2016 ex-hire Kubota 008 with various issues and go through it to bring it back up to a decent working condition. In the first part we take a look at what those issues could be and make a list of the parts we are going to need.

Better to have a machine with back up and parts than something new and shiny that won't last
Great choice, Kubota all the way
I think you got a good deal with the little Kubota.
Seems if you stick with the major brands you can always recoup the money back out of them.
Not my area either, but the Kubota every time. My mate has an elderly Hitachi excavator, it is beautifully engineered and still eminently repairable.
I wouldn’t waste my money on the Chinese Spaff, secondhand Kubota if it was me 👍
Not really my area, but I'd say the route you've gone. I hear a lot of the Chinese ones are copies of "western" ones, protected by copyright laws which basically make it impossible for foreign manufacturers to protect their property. This means the Western companies spend all the money on r and d, following Western safety laws etc. Then counties such as China buy a few, strip them and copy them. Not saying all of China does this, they can and do innovate their own stuff, but it cannot be denied this darker side also happens.
Yeah pretty much all of China does this....
@@mwnciboo Yup, and then redesign so not one single corner is left uncut 😂
A Chinese digger is nothing like a Kubota etc there just crap
The Kubota was 100%wright choise especially when you can do work yourself 👍👍👍
To be able to get parts for any machine is the most important thing especially when you're busy you guys make the right choice
"You can buy good tools once, or buy cheap tools a lot."
Thats a bargain, I would have bought it.
For anything more than a machine that’s to be used infrequently I think going down the route of 2nd hand known brand is a no brainer. Once you’ve been through it you know what you have and there is also the bonus of some great RUclips content!!!
I’ve got an old kubo that I brought to do a self build. Great piece of kit. Definitely go for a well known brand.
Kubota every time.
Buy once cry once
Wes Pandy has a compact tractor/loader/backhoe tucked away in the garage building
BTW, no chinese power equipment here, but do have a few chinese tools. 👍👌
I forget to indicate it is a Kubota
Parts and service are everything so kubota was definitely the right choice.
As a pensioner who bought a very used Hanix N08o2 , I think you got a fair deal. It will be worth replacing the needed items to ensure dependability.
Another master piece mucker . Worked with a couple but no expert . Keep em coming mucker
Definitely second hand of a known make , at least when you go through it and fix it up , you know what you have ,
Keep up the good work on the videos
Got tired of buying disposable tractors for yard work. Bought the Kubota with the idea that it will be the last tractor I'm ever gonna buy. Have not been disappointed.
In two years the only thing I've had to do was change fluids and filters added some lights for after dark work and lubed it up. Everything works like the day they delivered it.
In all honesty I would never recommend another off breed brand again.
She's definitely worthy of second life mucka, I really enjoy seeing videos of machines brought back to there full glory, if I ever won the lottery I would genuinely get a big plot of land with a workshop, where I could buy some tired old machines (like an old hymac) you see on sites like ebay and restore them back to original factory condition and play with them like a big kid :)
As ever great video!!!!
Without doubt kubota and repair to many things just get thrown away these days. Look at what you get when finished!!!
Also sense of achievement.
we have had kubota on the farm all the time one of the best
Kubota all day long...similar to when my firm wanted to chop the Isuzu in for a Great Wall at Hammonds. Needless to say it stayed on the forecourt even with 500 notes worth of GW clothing.
just in the same place myself looking at buying a digger and thanks to ur vid you have helped me make my mind up be scanning the adds for second hand known makes machine
Great video, I had a similar choice 3 months ago. I went the same way, added to our kubota fleet of tractors and trucks.
I really appreciate your serie about the K008 - Thanks a lot 👍
My pleasure!
Kubota every time spares are readily available, keep up the good work 👍🚜
Can't beat a proper machine. Looking forward to seeing her progress!
deffo the kubota great little machines and great parts back up !! deffo the same route as you guys ...
A well timed video, I'm thinking of buying my first mini digger at the moment. This has given me a few things to consider. Thank you.
I've gone the same route you have, and have been happy with it.
Think you did the right thing. Yes, enjoyed the video as always. Thanks.👍
Definitely the right choice especially with your experience! And will great video content, everyone is a winner 👍
I think at the price given it will be absolutely grand..keep up the videos, they are fantastic 👏
Definitely the 2nd hand option, as former Kubota trained engineer, I think you have made the right choice.
You hit the nail on the head, 2/3 years down the road, I can't see many knock off machines still around unless there's parts backup... :)
Defo the Kubota it has many years worth of hard work left in it for sure Kurt 👍
Great video will be a great watch getting this machine back I action 👍
Think you' went the right way with the kubota.
You would... 😉👌🏼
Good job Kimberly and Kurt, yes a reputable brand , even with a bit of work to do is the better option all day long👌👍🙂
No doubt in my mind that you've made a sound decision. The Kubota is a good machine made by a reputable company that will stock those needed parts for years to come. Best wishes for a great New Year!
Always go with what you know, experience can’t be beaten in the long term. Keep it up & keep it real for 23. Cheers 😉
KUBOTA all day every day as you say part's are easy to get, I always liked working on these when I was in the plant game in the late 80s early 90s . Their tracked dumpers were a brilliant bit of kit .
With the knowledge and facilities you have. The known brand ie kubota, with parts back up is a no brained. Love the channel, always been a keen matador follower.
Because you are you and we all know yout competence , you've defiantly made the correct choice . The good thing about it is we can come along and join the journey on the repair's .
I think you have taken the best option as like myself you can’t beat having a tinker and getting your hands dirty and enjoying the rewards after the hard work is finished grate video 👍🏻
Happy New Year and all the best for 2023 Lord Muck, I'm like you, I would of gone the same way, quality of the kubota even though spares or repairs and by the time the jobs are done you know exactly what you've got and that it's gonna serve you well
Always just the greatest content and creators 😊 much respect ✊
Thank you Tony 👍
Just bought a second hand one our self, so very interested in your videos going forward 👍🏼
Definitely a second hand named machine.
Learnt my lesson on Chinese junk yrs ago. It’s like you said about getting parts for them, that could give you a headache.
Kabota engines are bomb proof too.
KABOTA as you have said Kurt parts availability reputable name for sure. HAPPY NEW YEAR mucker to you and yours.
Happy New Year Muck and co. Always spares and repair.
Great piece of kit! Second hand Kubota for me!
Great show!
I’d say that you’ve gone down the right road with this, kubota equipment is well made and built to last, and like you say the parts backup is there, you can’t be sure that you’ll get parts for these cheaper machines in 3/4 years time. Great video! Happy new year
I think you made the right choice, think I'd of done the same. Least with kabota you have access to spares in 4/5 years down the line. Possibly not with a cheaper chinese one.
Can't beat Kabota the are awesome in the smaller range not to mention their ride on mowers and skid steers . I think that was a good buy and will serve you well when sorted .love your work and happy new year.
good buy , happy new year
You definitely did the right thing by buying the kubota. I have a bx 23s. I love it.
Kubota all day every day, I've worked on them since I left school and find them a pleasure to work on and fix, it's also nice to see Shell Plant mentioned ,I've used them for parts since I started work and its also where our company buy there machines from, can't recommend them enough.
Hi i have u 17 kubota so for me old kubota ever time you will never go wrong with kubota thanks Geoff
Definitely go for Kubota used them for many years and found to be reliable
Great vid as always, seen the other vid with Kimberly. Happy new Year both.
I'd go used we borrowed small Kubota digger while ago. As we didn't own it didn't spend much time on it greased it and checked the fluids. Unfortunately there was crap in the tank which got sucked up and ruined the pump. Machine still in the field now serval months on awaiting a rebuilt pump. Long story short wish I'd bought a machine and gone through it. As that broke because of a shear lack of maintenance.
Love the grease gun holster😅👍
Great video, the old saying buy cheap buy twice springs to mind! Definitely would have gone for the Kubota. Cheers
That's a great buy👍I've always liked to pick up the used equipment especially from a trusted manufacturer it makes life so much easier for parts back up and that Kubota looks great for an ex-hire company one👌a pin and bush kit will really tighten it back up and the electrical gremlins are hopefully just fraid wires🙏great start to the new year🍻
Great machine. HSS top end of hire fleet with quality maintained equipment. Think you’ve chosen well 👌
Definitely have gone down the same route as you have. Better a slightly knackered quality machine with parts backup than a throwaway product of dubious quality. Way to go,happy new year mucker!😎
Seems well enough bought and a known well respected brand and given a good going through and sort out its few age related issues I'd say it should be a good machine plus you will know her well as you work on it and hopefully know its properly sorted.... just done a similar thing with a tractor .... 08 reg 2900 hrs but been sombodies work tool n not loved .... the basics are all right enough but needed tidying ... anyway good luck...👍
Spot on ma Lord, definitely go down your route of purchase, with yours and Kim’s ability and commitment it will be a nice working machine. Kubota spares are expensive but quality is king. Excellent purchase 👍👍sound decision and a reward of a sense of achievement when everything is boxed off.
You did the right thing I have seen an American chap buy Chinese and it’s broken already backup is the other massive thing to consider keep up the good work👍👍
Mucker you went the right way with your purchase. You can get parts readily, and can go through jobs in good order. Keep it up Mucker 🚜 👍 🛠
Kubota every time. Good machines, worked for a firm that ran quite a few of them (retired plant fitter) main problem was the seat covers pulling the levers. Good luck with your one👍👍👍
Definitely spares or repair! Everything you do to it will be adding value, maybe not as much as you spend but you're not going for a quick profit. As soon as you buy the cheap new one it becomes an even cheaper 2nd hand digger. Loving the content 👍
Would go with them any day of the week .We have 2 of these machines. Top class. The lads love them even taking them over the new neauson 1.6t machines I bought.After 4 years of hardship with my company still run perfect
Happy New Year Mucker..I'm 100% with you and your route quality will come through at the end of the day...Nice having a shiny new machine but if you can't get parts for it which will ultimately happen, it isn't earning anything sitting in the shed broken..👍
I would have gone with the kubota because parts back up and the new ones could have the same problem with them and can't get any parts for them
i think you done the right way Kubota top kit i have looked and some imports no /little back up and and you know you need to work on the Kubota and as you just shown us i know it was a battery but you know. happy new year and all the best for 2023
Great little bits of kit. With your knowledge it will be (hopefully) plain sailing
I would go down the kabota route well made parts easily to get hold of good operator controls.
I go for the kabota, you know we're you are and if the budget comes in you will have a cracking machine , great video as usual 👍
I think you are on a winner with this machine. Invested money, some work and some parts and hopefully you should end up with a nice bit of kit with a well proven name. Working out at a fair price.
Definitely the way you have gone
Second hand quality always. Fix and mend when possible. Makes sense to invest your time and money into a brand which a good reputation, and spares availability. Top work.
I definitely would have done what you guys did. I work for a hire company here in Australia. Kubota are the most reliable brand that we have experienced. And parts are easier to come by. Love the videos, keep it up
Nice quality machine good luck
100% agree with you Mucker, much safer bet to buy a used machine from a trusted brand than a brand new machine from an unknown brand with no safe parts back up, great video. 👍
There will allways be parts available for good known brands like kubota so I recon you chose the right option great video 👍
I definitely would go down same route of known name brand second hand machine, even with issues as you have done go over it carefully most smaller issues even if time consuming are easy to sort, I’d be wary of one with low hydraulic power etc without doing further investigation but generally if it looks like it’s had some care and nothing stupidly expensive looks to be failing, then why not have a good second base machine that some parts and time will make into a sound useable reliable machine !
Look forward to the progress on this one ! 👍👍
Definitely the Kubota, would guess you would quickly start needing parts and as you said are they available.
Thanks for another great video 👍🏻👍🏻
You done right thing will always be able to get part you need when and if you need it
I would always go the route you have. Buying a top build machine like kubota should always pay you back. But I guess buying anything second hand you could get caught out. But then you have the knowledge 👏👍
I think buy second is the best route as you have the skills and know how to bring back to its best . Kubota will always have parts etc in the future plus we can watch you repair it . Thanks
Great video, I'd have also gone down the second hand route also, and with you been able to get it spares or repair, trade deal you have money left in it to make it ready for work again 👍🏼 DO WELL 👌🏽👌🏽
I think you've done the right thing, I would of had the kubota any day 👍🏻
I've got a 1986 kubota b8200 compact tractor and I know I could go and buy parts for that today after all these years !
Go for the Kubota they're good machines but had problems with the tracks not having enough grip. Once again a good video.
Good used Machine every time!
Second hand, given the quality and Kim's repair skills 🙂👍🇮🇪
