    Windshield washer motor

    I have a 2017 KX040-4. I recently had the cab replaced and now the windshield washer pump will not work. If I pull the plug off it and test with a vol meter I get 12V. If I take the pump off and use test wires to the battery it works. If I hook the plug back up to the pump and also use a...

    I keep breaking bucket pivot pin

    I have a 2017 KX040-4. I bought it used in 2021 and since have broken 3 bucket Pivot pins. I use it primarily for logging. The research I have done says the pins that have the grease zerk are bad because they break at the hole for the grease to come out in the center of the rod. So I got a...

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    I just got off the phone with the service manager where I bought it. He said running at lower RPM's is definitely the cause of more frequent regens. He recommends running at as close to wide open as possible. I will give it a shot and let everyone know.

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    The screen doesn't show me real time that the DPF is filling. So far it only said that its regenerating but I can continue working. One time it told me to raise the RPM so it could regenerate though.

    I use it maybe 8 hours each day. Once I warm it up I usually have the dial at half throttle and turn on Eco mode and Auto idle.

    kx040-4 Excavator DPF

    I do have the operators manual and the service manual. I'm brand new to using an excavator so I have a learning curve to get over. I find that it is regenerating daily on me. I have a feeling though its because I run at low RPMS. Since I'm new running faster causes alot of jerkiness...
