kubota kx101

[Joe S]

we think its a 1994-1997 model its a very ruff but savable.
anything we should look out for?
anybody used one if so what are they like?

 

[Mursal]

Good basic machine ...........
4 cylinder I think ........
Price
Track/sprockets
Tracking straight
Slew ring
Play in the pivots/bush's the the digging arm
They seem listed just over the 3.5T so no towing?
Never had the pleasure

@Kevtherev do you know anything about them?

 

[Kevtherev]

Usual stuff as mursal says really.
Tracks need a good check out depends on price as well

tracks are pretty well fecked!
if its much more then scrape value we wont bother!

You can hardly touch anything for under £4000 of this size, if you can check the oil in the track motors is present and not milky or silver Motors are ££££

[Joe S]

Wild guess £600 each for rubber?

well then that should put dad off the idea!

 

[Mursal]

Well if you want to tell him secondhand tracks are sometimes available (if you can wait) that's entirely up to you ........
I hope you don't mind me saying, you don't seem to be fully committed to the project, Joe?

 

[Thomas5060]

You will be able to get a set of new tracks for 600-800 pounds

I run a kx91. Excellent machine. But mines in good condition and that one sounds rough.
£2/3k might tidy it and then it might be worth £5k.
Will you get it for £2k?

ill tell him.
dont mind at all im not keen on the idea because the thing is fecked!but he pays no attention to what i say
having a little digger would be handy though!

rough just about every thing people say to check is wrong with it
anyway can see dad parting with more than £1000 for it hes a tight bugger!Hes going to go and have a play with it today to make sure it doesnt make any funny sounds and ask what he wants for it

You can buy all the wearing parts from a choice of after market suppliers around the uk, but if you need a track motor, engine repair or slew motor, it is a breaker, as the genuine Kubota prices for these items will bring tears to your eyes! if you can buy it for £1,000 you could probably break it for spares and draw £3,000
