    Questions about excavator auger and brush rakes for mini ex

    I bought an auger and it is not an issue. You might need to make a couple very small adjustments to the boom as you dig to keep the hole straight. A second person to watch the hole from outside is helpful. Regarding the brush rake I did not get one because they are just outrageously priced for...

    Questions about excavator auger and brush rakes for mini ex

    I have a Kubota kx71-3 (6000lb mini ex) that I use around my property. I am looking to get some attachments specifically an auger and a brush rake. I have some dumb questions about using these: On the auger how do you keep the hole straight? It seems like you would constantly be adjusting...

    Play in carrier roller on Kubota kx71-3

    I pulled the top roller off of the other side and it too is destroyed. I ordered an aftermarket roller off ebay to try for this side. Now I am wondering what kind of shape my bottom rollers are in. Looks like they are going to be a little harder to service.

The left side roller has a slight amount of play but much less than the right roller. I am new to working with...

    Operating during fire season

    I recently bought my first piece of equipment a Kubota kx71 mini excavator. I am using it for various projects around my timbered 20 acres. I wanted to post and ask about fire prevention since my searches did not turn up anything on this topic. Is it safe working in dry conditions? My exhaust...

    Mini Excavator- Thumb

    Sorry to hijack this thread but I do not have enough posts yet to start a new thread. I just bought a used Kubota kx71 excavator it has a side to side pivoting foot pedal to operate the thumb.
