Carefully disassemble worn or damaged parts.
Clean hydraulic lines, filters, and cooling systems using non-corrosive solvents.
Replace seals and gaskets where necessary.
Use genuine Kubota spare parts to ensure system compatibility.
Replace hydraulic filters, belts, bearings, and worn track rollers.
Inspect and recondition the fuel injection system for optimal engine efficiency.
Reassemble with torque specifications recommended by Kubota.
Conduct a 2-hour idle and load test to ensure system stability.
Verify no leaks, vibration, or abnormal noise are present.
After repair, each unit undergoes final performance testing according to Kubota’s inspection checklist, ensuring compliance with operational and safety standards.
The table below summarizes the most common operational issues found in used compact excavators and their respective solutions.
| Fault Symptom | Probable Cause | Recommended Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low digging power | Hydraulic pump pressure too low / clogged filter | Check hydraulic pressure, replace filter |
| Engine overheating | Clogged radiator / insufficient coolant | Clean radiator fins, refill coolant |
| Hydraulic oil leakage | Damaged hose or seal | Replace seals, tighten fittings |
| Irregular idling | Air in fuel system / dirty injector | Bleed air, clean or replace injectors |
| Boom drift during rest | Worn control valve or cylinder seal | Inspect valve body and replace worn seals |
| Unusual track noise | Debris between rollers or worn sprocket | Clean undercarriage, replace worn parts |
| Slow swing movement | Swing motor or pilot valve issue | Check pilot line pressure, service swing motor |
By identifying root causes early, operators can prevent major system failures and extend the service life of the excavator.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the continued performance of the Kubota KX61 Compact Excavator. Following proper techniques can reduce wear, improve fuel economy, and prevent breakdowns.
Always use Kubota-approved engine oil (API CF or higher).
Replace the oil filter every 500 operating hours.
Check air filters regularly, especially in dusty environments.
Inspect fuel lines for leaks and replace cracked hoses promptly.
Monitor hydraulic oil levels daily before operation.
Clean or replace hydraulic filters every 1000 hours.
Check for contamination or bubbles in hydraulic fluid (which indicate air intrusion).
Use only Kubota Super UDT or equivalent hydraulic oil.
Inspect radiator and oil cooler fins for debris or mud.
Flush the cooling system every 2000 hours or once per year.
Ensure coolant concentration meets manufacturer standards (50:50 antifreeze mix).
Regularly check wiring harnesses for corrosion or wear.
Keep terminals clean and tighten connections.
Replace damaged fuses with correct amperage ratings only.
Test battery charge monthly and apply terminal grease.
Maintain correct track tension—too tight leads to wear, too loose causes derailment.
Grease idlers and track rollers weekly.
Inspect sprocket teeth for sharp wear.
Clean tracks after each operation to avoid stone entrapment.
Clean control levers and pedals to prevent sticking.
Test safety switches before each use.
Keep cabin windows and mirrors clear for visibility.
Inspect seat belts and emergency shutoff functions periodically.
