I’m sure there was someone on the old forum who offered a nationwide Kubota immobiliser removal/disabling service? Can’t remember who though.
I've got the same problem as the guy re Kubota imoboliser on a KX16-4
Do you know anyone who can bipass the imoboliser

What man as done, man can do, what never has,maybe
I’ve got the chance of buying a KX 016-4 but the owner can’t find the keys he’s in a home with dementia and the old girl hasn’t a clue where they are (the husband kept a lot from her🤔)

What are my options 🤔

I bet you could overcome the immobilizer within a morning, probably within an hour.
It's only going to be inline as no electrics on the engine

I believe Kubota will come out and reprogram keys/the machine with proof of ownership, but it is not cheap (if you want to keep it immobilised).

Contact a dealer, think BTE are our closest, see what they say.. everything is removable, just depends how bothered you are I guess?

Youve got a crane and the skills to build "mogmatsu" what's an immobiliser to a man of your talents!

You will need to prove a lot to them (kubota) and need a new dash. It’s about £1200 plus vat
A mate of mine needed a letter from the previous keeper, as well as purchase invoice etc!

It’s not that easy to remove as it’s part of the machine. It can be done but it’s not like it’s just a little box somewhere with some wires to starter motor and fuel pump

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
it's only a digger FFS .. has an engine requiring X number of inputs, with Y number of outputs ... a hydraulic system with limited capacity to be immobilised, etc. ... bloke like Mog could completely rewire it in six hours ... get it bought with all that in mind Mog

Depends if it’s a keeper or to sell on - would be worth a lot more if all original with a proper working dash etc imo.

Local diggers is still around on FB, i think i read he lost interest after Trax passed. Plus he had reservations about a new forum. Shame not to see him about.

I am not sure its a good idea publicly putting how to bypass this system... ( i dont know how btw) but if somebody does.. I am pretty certain its pretty complicated
I was thinking the same

Didn't you remove the immobilizer on your little jcb? Or was that someone else.
I agree an ECu that machine would be completely stand alone and control very little.
No electric fuel pump just a stop solenoid. The dashboards aren't much.
The do as you likeys can get past them in five minutes.

yeh - removed and then replaced an aftermarket Thatcham approved level unit .. POP, once I'd worked out what was doing what ... at that level of machine there can not be a great deal that is insurmountable
if the 'drema's analogue canbus ever went south, i'd rewire it with conventional switches and relays ... there is nothing that can't be gotten over conventionally - and she's fairly complex
