Case ck62 excavator
- Thread starter IOW91
- Start date
KH191 badged in Case colours just like all the other models at the time from 1.3t upwards, the 191 was basically a sound machine but it suffered from memory with the seals leaking in the slew ring distributor and was slow tracking, not sure if there was only 1 speed tracking, and with centre front kingpost mounting it was front end heavy, as opposed to machines of the day like the Hitatchi EX60 where the boom ran up the side of the cab and hinged further back hence more balanced. There was a good choice of wide steel tracks for soft ground and the 6 cylinder Kubota Engine ran very sweet.
Hydraulically at that time it was slow on hydraulics like the KH151 especially when compared to Komatsu Mini Diggers which were very fast, so if it is cheap enough and in good working order it will depend on your application and how much use you are going to give it, possibly slew ring not strong enough so there is a few areas to check.

It's got a hedge cutter flail attachment that comes with it that would be good down our marshland and it would just for generally using around the farm putting the odd chalk pad or barn floor in or a bit of ditching. Where would be the best place for spares? I'm guessing any kubota dealer could get parts?

Used to have a 191 here, cracking digger, slow compared to the newer diggers but she could dig, ours never rely gave any real problems either, it was a well balanced digger with the 6 cylinder engine but it was hard on fuel.
All your wearing parts from after market suppliers like Evans & Reid and others but not sure how long Kubota supply parts for after ceasing production but choose a long established Construction Kubota dealer who may have some history with the model like BTE Plant Sales Markfield Leics direction
Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake
In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.
Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
