I spend yesterday cleaning the equipment (after spending 2 hours fixing the petrol powered pressure washer) and found that the rubber tracks on the KX have a fair bit of sag on them.
A good 2 to 3 inches of movement.
Unfortunately I can't get at the operators manual which is locked behind a panel under the seat and the key won't open the lock, I don't want to use force and might drop into the dealer when I get a chance to see if there is a trick.
The tracks are near new but am wondering if this amount of play in the tracks is normal or if the previous owner has put wrong size tracks on the machine, or if there is a problem in the tensioning mechanism?
While we are talking Kubota, has it been figured out why they use an odd machine numbering system? I guess the K stands for Kubota and the X for excavator but what is with the 41 for a 1.6 tonne machine, well it is classed as a 1.5 tonne machine so should be KX15-3?
