New machine, well to me anyway. kebelco SR35 min7 ex

[204saskman]

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a unit. Just been waiting to find a good enough deal on one. Lost my chance at 3 other machines cause I couldnt decide if I wanted to spend that much but now I have. I think I did ok on the unit. Its a 2002 kebelco SR35 with 3424 hrs. It came with a quick attach and a 24 inch bucket. From what I can find for info it will dig about 10.5' which is plenty for me. I was going to just buy a trencher but for what guys are asking for those things, I bought this and it is much more useful. Ill have to post some pictures once it gets here. My friend is picking it up tomorrow for me.

Nice! I have an '03 SR35...it's been a great litttle digger. 12'", 18"' 24" and 36" buckets for mine. Mind if I ask how much you paid?

Ya mine only has the 24 inch bucket for now. I found some new buckets for cheap but there the wrong style quick attach. I paid 15000 but 500 was shipping. It has the auxila3y hydralics but no thumb yet. Does yours have a thumb. I should have it by thursday as my friend is picking it up today. I priced a new bucket the other day and I almost fell over when they told me the price.

Looks pretty nice. IMine has all the aux. hydraulics. But i don't have any attachments for it. Great little unit!

Ya so far so good. Been using it here lst few days. Lots of fun thats for sure. But I do need a smaller bucket. This big bucket takes lot to move the dirt. I think I found a couple smaller ones to buy. But Im also gonna try to build a thumb here soon as I think it would sure be hndy.

Any one know were I can get a manual for this machine. I have a couple things I want to tinker with and a manual would be most usful. I have put 20 hrs so far and this thing is awsome. No complaints so far. I need to source tracks soon too if anyone has a suggestions.

Thanks

That sounds like a nice machine. you will like a thumb to move small stuff.

Locally when the stimulus money runs out there may be many for sale by the contractors putting in fiber for the large rural telephone company.

Nice! I have an '03 SR35...it's been an excellent litttle digger. 12'", 18"' 24" and 36" pails for my own. Thoughts if I ask how much you paid?
