    Weak swing/slew on kx057

    Thanks for the info! It has about 3570 hours on it. I'll check these symptoms out next time I use it. From what I recall there's no grinding noise, no drift on a hill, it's not slow or weak without a load, it spins great! Just sometimes when im pulling/pushing something with good weight. Thanks...

    Weak swing/slew on kx057

    I have a Kx057-4 that is sometimes weak swinging with a load. I can keep trying it and it will sometimes seem to get it's power back and operate normally. Without a load it seems to operate fine. I've changed the hydraulic fluid, return filter,etc. Any ideas?

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    I think its 3200-3400. Yes the steel tracks were an option. An expensive one! Changing drive oil is one of the first things I plan. I think the owner bought it about a year ago as sort of a backup for his 2 KX 080's. for demolition. Think he got a pretty good deal. But he doesn't need it and...

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    Yes I'm in the mountains there! Some the work will be on the hillsides but nothing major. I've heard the metal tracks can be harder on the undercarriage. Final drive, etc.? It's still up in the air but I've looked at MccClarens's website. Where's a good place to buy premium pads (Bridgestone...

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    All good points and well taken! I wouldn't necessarily get the cheapest rubber but the best value for the money. Having said that, what about the rubber grousers? The guy also mention those but we weren't sure if they had to be put on every link or if every few links would work. He said he's...

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    They're on one I'm buying and the rubber would be more useful for me. They're going to change them out and keep the steel ones. Any ideas on best "value"? Meaning the most reasonable for the money. I'm just a homeowner and won't use it commerially.

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    Believe it or not, I got varying answers from different dealers! From they don't know, nothing needs to be changed, to the guides need to be changed. One retailer said nothing needs to be changed, another one wasn't sure! Right now I'm leaning toward just removing the guides......

    Switching from steel tracks to rubber on a KX 057-4

    Hello everyone.Does anyone know for sure what's needed to switch from steel tracks to rubber on a Kubota 057-4? I've talked to several parts houses and dealers. I've gotten everything from replacing the 4 guides, to it's a direct change with nothing needed. Does anyone know for sure? Someone who...
