kubota arrives tomorrow, funny thing about the Japanese their technical documentation it sucks. I first ran into this fixing my friends 1987 Kitamura CNC machine. Their drawings are like scrimshaw, tiny line drawings instead of annotated pictures and sentence structure is backwards. So instead of "let's go to the store", " store we go let's". The service manual is really a challenge to read. Even the product brochures are poor. I ordered optional CCV Joint skid plates but their were no pictures of them, I assumed they would be like the 3rd party American ones advertised. Well they weren't so I complained and they took the price off. Same with the hand throttle they show two different ones available as options again no pics and dealer didn't know the difference. Turns out the machine comes with one. However they build quality stuff, as I read through 6 years of forum posts the machine had some problems but they fixed them all. Even if was past warranty. It is old technology their isn't a single processor on whole machine. Very rugged designed to be used 60 hours a week, but lots of maintenance it has over 20 grease fittings compared to my truck which has 6 and my car none. It built like my 1966 Ford tractor. I'll never wear it out, I made them sell enough filters and oil for service out to 400 hours, and got 20% off. Turns out to have them come and get the machine and do the 50 hour service would be $400.00 and 200 service would be $600.00.
