Getting a full dipper stroke at half the outreach on full off-set takes some beating for accurate workOriginally posted by v8druid View Postnot a lover of king posted machines ............ especially not at this sort of size
plus the extra angles you can work without a tilt bucket I think they are great ... its knuckle booms I can't see the sense in

..... it's just the king pin loading that bothers me 
... they never seem to be man enough, to me 
....... compared to a horizontal boom base pin .gif "wink2")

Its never been an issue over all the makes Ive owned ... when Kubota split the main boom base to two forks instead of a single 'through' pinOriginally posted by v8druid View Postit's just the king pin loading that bothers me... they never seem to be man enough, to me ....... compared to a horizontal boom base pin
https://kuk.kubota-eu.com/constructi...cts/kx080-4-a/ to accommodate the through route for all the hoses I had the same opinion, but, they scaled up the pin sizes to take the extra load, problem solved
It does make the machine handle very differently though.. how the digger responds to the bucket hitting a dead stop for example ... in other words what happens to the whole machine when the boom is mounted above the slew ring as opposed two 2 feet out side its radius .. also affects lifting performance/stability, so there are definite down sidesPlease don't PM me for plant advice.. thanks ..
