I bought a new U27 and U55 this season, and unfortunately am not very happy with either. With experience in renting many other brands, the U55 just doesn't compare. All functions, especially slew and boom speed are terrible comparing to other machines. Not to mention the extremely small amount of foot room and terrible seat height, this machine hasn't been too much fun in it's first 185 hours.
The Kubota U55 and Deere 50g that I previously operated both have normal and ECO mode. The Deere seems to simply lower engine RPM in ECO mode, while the Kubota maintains the same engine RPM in ECO mode, but just slows down.
Since the Kubota seems to have some kind of computerized hydraulic ECO mode, I was hoping there could be a way to program something to work faster.
The Kubota U55 normal mode seems about as fast as the Deere ECO mode, and the Kubota ECO mode is unusable.
Dealer said there were restrictions in the pilot controls, to allow the machine to operate smoother.
The operator should be able to control the smoothness, instead of having the machine be so slow that it's painful.
Any ideas?
