That’s a thing of beauty, congratulations and enjoy!!!

 

Is the Engcon quite heavy- it looks quite a lump on the end?

Now that sir is one fine piece of kit! Hats off to you. Can i ask the price of the digger and the engcon on its own.

also, is it dead on 3tone, or 2.7? Looking at the 2.7 as it will go on a high capacity plant trailer

Does that include the Engcon?...

 

Do you switch between tilt and grab/extra service using the Kubota’s original joysticks? Who supplied/fitted?

Exactly the same as my Rototilt/Takeuchi - ace set up!! Wait until you drive a digger without it, your thumbs will become very confused....

Sorry - mine cycles between the tilt, not rotate. All good either way!

engcon like to keep rotate on left control, I guess as it rotates the cab as well.
