50 hour review/trenching with my Diesel Kubota Mini Excavator. 1.6ton Unit. Runs good, Has its small issues. Would I buy again? 100%, But not from anywhere but a auction.
Great job. Do yourself a favor and get your thumb out of the way. You will be able to dig a little faster and won't have the risk of twisting your bucket or bending the thumb arm. Remember to grease every pin every time you use the machine. My dad and grandfather would always tell me that grease is cheap and pins and bearings are not! Maybe you already know this? I hate running a machine when every time I swing left or right and stop, the bucket, dipper and boom rattle and bang around because the pins are worn out. While wear is normal, regular maintenance will make those parts last a long time. Have fun!
@superdog1964 I need to get it out of the way, Just lazy haha. I've been cleaning brush with it and moving logs so just didn't feel like taking it off. I should be done digging for the most part now. I grease it probably more than it needs. Typically after washes, before use. That's about how we did it in the military. Wiping excess. It's a great rig, thanks for the info and the view!
@caccac8839 nah man, needed something to tow the G8. Got the duramax, just never did a video on it. About a month after selling the tbss the trans blew so it never was gonna be capable of what I needed. I just haven't done a video of this truck.
@@TevonMaples at least u got out from under it before the trans let loose, My 07 tbss awd sitting in the garage now 3 years due to rod knock, just seems I can’t catch a break to rebuild the motor. Bought it at Copart sight unseen got it $2400 with fees. Started it up thought I heard somethin at startup drove it around the block, put it in the garage changed the oil and seen all the glitter, haven’t driven it since 👎 hopefully these VA disability claims pick up and then finally I can start ripping it apart.
@caccac8839 You got it bro, solid car but I really don't need one. I'm on the prawl for a PPV for another youtube series/burnout setup 😂 Trust me. Anything VA related gonna take forever. 1 year to get my dental appointment setup for 4 more months out. 😭
