Backhoe Backhoe attachment from KPX

The KPX Backhoe is an excellent unit, IMO just as good as the Korean designs. KPX has their own factory that allows them to do better quality control and avoid cutting corners on the components that you see from other LW-6 sellers. The KPX LW-6 uses a more steamlined hydraulic system, as well.

I have to agree with Affordable and Ranch Hand. I own a Chinese backhoe and the hydraulic controls and plumbing leave much to be desired. There are leaks where the hoses connect to the valves and the valves are very jerky with little throttling speed control. I have heard good things about the Korean imports but have no personal experiance with them.

I purchased the KPX-7 Backhoe (3 point hitch) in July 2010. The unit was delivered by liftbed truck to my house. It uses a PTO shaft driven pump. I began by familiarizing myself with the unit (never used a backhoe) and attached it to my Massey Ferguson 135 (38 HP PTO). After some practice I began working to remove several large & small stumps. I am very pleased with the unit & have had few problems to this point. The price was reasonable, delivery to the house was a plus. I would recommend looking into a subframe build for the unit since the 3 point hitch seems to limit how much power you can apply. The personnel I have dealt with at KPX have been responsive to my requests. I would like to see more detail concerning maintenance procedures (a real shop manual). The manual (for troubleshooting) is limited and doesn't provide any detail about how to perform the recommended repairs.
