Hello, my spouse and I recently acquired a KX36-3 mini excavator in France.
The hydraulic hose for the front blade has broken twice within a week, which may be due to misusing the excavator. Both times, the tube broke right next to the connection point. We have been using it to pull out tree roots and brambles, dragging them across the ground, which may have caused branches to push on the hydraulic hose.
In general, we are looking for basic maintenance advice, since the person we bought it from used just took it to a mechanic, but we would like to do as much as possible ourselves. We've scoured the internet for the user manual. All I found was that the title is "RG138-8134-4 Genuine Kubota Operation and Maintenance Manual." I saw it for sale for a high price, but no longer in stock.
Can anyone advise where to find the user manual so we can perform basic maintenance such as refilling the hydraulic fuel?
Thanks so much for any tips!
