No issues getting S40 stuff, although you do need to check size and weights of buckets/attachments as S40 covers quite a large weight range. My original Engcon grading bucket was too large and heavy for my Euromach and I ended up selling it.

Still got it

So did this get sorted have we had the great plant talk lift off?

have you both got the same thing to lift?

dumper? Icb? Etc anyone got both machines on same site and do a test end this great debate?

 

[GazCro]

It is like the taki was designed to just pip it across the board then make sure something stands out!!
I am curious as to what the other size machines pump out as if you can’t run the correct size attachments it is pretty pointless.

Only the taki was out first.

Seems as though Kubota have missed a trick launching a brand new machine that is beaten pretty much across the board by their main existing competitor.
I’d love a go on the Kubota as have lived with the Tak for 5 years so have a good idea of a comparison.

To be fair they did the same thing with their 4 ton kx040 or whatever they call it when it came out either last year or the year before. Launched a machine to near enough match the tb240 in every dept but about 5 years after.
I wouldn't buy a tb260 expecting 100 lpm aux flow mind anything above 70 ish be a bonus imho.

Stacks up well.... I have a meeting with JCB to discuss paint issues

I would of thought that it goes without saying but Figures only tell half the story. - you would need to use them both.

EDIT: Have u got the KX57 specs available ? because thats pretty well regarded... and prob my favourite from Kubota.

100% specs on paper are only a vague clue can be completely different in the real world.

So the Yellow Turd is actually as good across the board as the takeuchi and quite abit better than the kubota
