KX033-4

I picked up a KX033-4 mid summer. Got it to do some cleanup around the place. Took a bit to get the hang of, my first time running an excavator.
It had a horrible ringing whenever traveling. Turned out the ROPS bolts were not fully tightened and the ROPS was ringing like a church bell.
Tightened them, changed all oils and filters, and was good to go.

Did a couple videos of some of my cleanup just for fun. So far this machine has been great.

Great video on the wire removal. Will a scrap yard take the wire?

Yes, they will. Steel prices are good right now.
I ended up recycling over 2000 lbs of steel total from this cleanup and got about $170 for it.
Helped pay for some of cost of the dumpster.
