excavator

I know there is a lot of talk about the 1 ton's, but I am interested in the 2 ton's specifically this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/354985732038 anyone own one, know if it has a hydro filter, and what attachments can be ordered?

The left track of my excavator (Kubota KX41-2V) does not have enough power to make a turn. I replaced the left final drive but that didn't solve the problem. So I connected an extra set of hoses directly from the control valve left travel section to the drive motor, but no difference. The...

Hey all, I decided last fall I could really use a backhoe/mini ex for a bunch of projects around my property. Renting is complicated due to the frequent but short time I would need to dig, figured I would sell when i'm done or decide i cant live without it. These projects include: *Dig up poles...

I have now had my Rhinoceros (Xiniu) XN08 for nearly 6y, imported from China in 2018. My main TBN thread so far has been about importing it, and modifying it to do what I want, and not get damaged...

It works impressively well. Will have to see about the longevity of it since it was only 2k. I’m going to mod it so it has a door that can open on the front to mulch tall trees and vines easier. The tree I’m holding is what we call an ironwood and is a pretty tough wood.

I bought an excavator to do some land management (stumps, lantana, clean-ups). It's a self-imported electric 2.5t excavator from China. I am happy with it in principle. However, the controls are shocking. I can nicely operate the boom and stick on my back-hoe, but these controls are jerky, not...

Does anyone have a service manual # 6902745 for the Bobcat 325 excavator that they are willing to part with?

After four surgeries in the past three years, I can’t lift or run a shovel anymore. Decided to get a little help!

Where do I find a forum here for Yanmar excavators?

Just installed a thumb on my Bobcat 325. Need to lower the pressure. Where is the adjustment located? Thanks

I'm looking at buying a used excavator. It'll likely be an older, high hour excavator since I don't have a large budget. What should I look for? Are there any particular repairs I should stay away from? Any other telltale signs of an excavator that hasn't been taking care of?

Hi all, My Bobcat 331 started overheating last Fall, so I started looking at rebuilding it. I signed up here and posted about its issues in another topic, so I won't rehash those details here. However, I knew a rebuild would be a stretch (both in terms of time and money), so I spent a lot of...

Hello, I'm trying to add a sectional valve to my old Kubota excavator to run a hydraulic thumb off of it. It being so old, all the valve controls are mechanical, and I would like to have an electronic control on one of the sticks for the thumb. I imagine a solenoid actuated valve would make a...

I just bought a KX057-5 and it's my first excavator (for property maintenance). I've been doing a lot of research trying to educate myself on operation and common maintenance. Anyway, I've only got 5 hours on the machine and I noticed that the tracks are showing metal on the "lugs" that I...

Hello everyone, im new to the site and this is my first post. I picked up a older IHI 35J excavator. I’m slowly bringing it back to life. Was told the fuel pump wasn’t working. Back story: it was in a pasture for many years. Asked owner would it be for sale. He replied no I’m going to fix it. I...
