kubota kh191

[RyanL]

Hi, well i just bought a kubota KH191 13,000lb excavator. I bought this thing from the net, and just had pics to go by, thats a lil different not being able to run it or anything. But the guy seemed honest and everything seems to legite, so i guess i will find out when it arrives.

I guess i was jus wandering if anyone has expeirence with this model, and if anybody has had any problems gettin parts or anything. I called my local dealer and he said it didn't look like the would be any problem.


Thanks, Ryan

Thats a very solid machine, parts should not be problem, they were a relatively popular model before that size excavator was even popular. The biggest downfall to them was that they were a bit on the slow side, the house rotation in particular,(especially compared to todays minis), otherwise a good machine, hope you have good luck with it.

Well I have put bout 10hrs or so on that machine now, and i am pretty pleased with the purchase. When it arrived after me buying it from pics, i seen that it needed a track idler replaced that they didn't mention. So bout $900 later i got the idler which they had in stock at Columbus,Oh. No big deal just disapointed that they didn't mention it. And like you said the only thing i would change would be the hyd. speed and power, seems little weak compared to newer hoes. And pilot controls would be nice, But it gets the job done thats what matters. I jus wander if a guy could get a higher flow pump and put on it?
