What tiltrotator for Kubota kx027-4 hi spec

[TiltyShaun]

Going to be high 40's then ...some investment for 2.5t outfit !

I am all ready all bucketed up and will go direct mount. I am looking to off load the Kobelco as my work for that is coming to an end so it is more of a decision to have a new up to date 3ton set up that I will use daily or watch the kobelco sit in the yard. It has been out on hire for the last few months but I don’t like it when the phone rings and I have to deal with the odd issue. My Kx71-3 has served me well, but I think it has done it’s time as a front line machine and would still serve me well as a yard machine for the farm.

I would like to think there's a good market for a used 3t tilty setup ?

 

[TiltyShaun]

Glad i purchased mine when i did, can't see many people paying the daywork rate that makes that pay ?

I am not cheap for the services I offer. The issue is that the Kx71-3 is starting to need a bit of love.

Been on a hired in machine this week without a tilty. I will be putting the rebuilt ram back on mine on Friday and back out with a smile on Saturday!!

Nice to have some Scandinavian engineering that's rebuildable in this throw away world

IIRC it's the Kub's ram that gave fault

Not too impressed with the kub rams, my kx71 has had bucket and dipper rams replaced (4000hrs)and boom ram has a small leak (4300hrs) - bonus is I have a new 3.5t (?) kub ram under the bench that was sent in error, must be worth a few quid if I identified it correctly and got it advertised, brexit meant they couldn't be arsed with getting it back.

I’ve got two weeping rams on my kx71-3 had them both re sealed before as well

Yeah boom ram done but didn't last long.

well if they're weeping it's the gland seal and TBF that lives in a very harsh environment trying to do its job, usually covered in dust and tish ... ANY marks on the rod will aggravate the situation too

New seals and rod. That will hopefully last another 5500 hours!!

Nothing worse than a sad sheep! Probably crying over their mates going to the abbatoir
