Heavier machine or heavier counterweight

The bloke that has this is going to be selling it after only 200 hours use because the engcon & Kubota don’t work well together.
I think it’s the hydraulic pump arrangement that doesn’t lets it flow share nicely.
I’ve driven it a few times & can’t get on with it.
He had priority valve fitted to get more flow on the auxiliary but that hasn’t helped.
If your slewing & rotate it picks up speed right when you don’t won’t to.
It’s a kx 030-4
Engcon have tried adjusting it to make it smoother but now just say it’s the Kubota at fault & Kubota say there side is fine so sell it & buy a Takeuchi

Veteran members on here will remember the troubles a certain high profile tilty user had trying to get his new Kubota to play nicely with an Engcon.

Saying that the u55 and steelwrist I hired was a lovely little setup to drive and shared its oil fine.
The 8t kub was a banging clattering horror trying to share it out.
6t wacker does fine.

Today I went past a Vivaro towing a Hitachi 3.3 ton on the trailer. No straps either.

See quite a few with the old Bluetooth straps, generally the same sort of folk but was following one of those purpose built 3.5t plant vans the other week, 1.5t machine on the back not a single strap attached, at least 2 loose buckets between the digger and the arm, was a strap just laying on the bed beside the digger, this was done by a plant hire company too
