I'm looking for a bit of help
I have a mini kubota digger and its crap lol

Nah its ok but its a bit under powered as in when its driven and I move the bucket etc it turns the tracks if you get me,
In the last day or 2 when I have been digging down its tried to stall like its running out of fuel turn it off and back on again and it was fine

Is there any quick checks to do before I have to pay someone to sort it?

Its got to dig out and load about 70 tones so need it on top fourm



This is the beast



Any help is much appreciated

sounds like fuel starvation, clean/ change the filters. is ther a water trap on the fuel line, normaly got a glass bowel on it . clean it out.

Does look alittle under powered for the kind of ground works you're doing plus are you digging wih the grading bucket? It's probably not going to like that very much.
What's the size of digger? Would have gone with a 1.8 tonne JCB 360 myself.

i agree it is probably needing a new fuel filter, plus remember and dig with the blade at the front, dug in

lol that is funny using that !

what you need is one of these

and one of these


it cost me Ł400 to hire them both and I didnt have to lift a finger !

these moved a calculated 60 tons in about 5 hours, from digging it out, removal and packing up.

sometimes its cost effective to spend money.
