What happens here

The creator climbs into the cab of the Kubota KX040-4 excavator to perform a test run. He starts the engine and operates the hydraulic functions (boom, stick, and bucket) at both the lowest and highest idle settings. He carefully observes the smoothness and responsiveness of the controls, noting that there's no noticeable difference in operation between the two idle speeds, indicating excellent hydraulic system design. He also tests the two-speed track system, driving the excavator and performing turns. He expresses satisfaction with how smoothly the machine operates even when simultaneously driving and using the hydraulics.

Goal: Verify the smooth operation of the excavator's hydraulics and controls.

auction company around here they would spray paint everything the same color yellow and it would be like you could walk around a piece of equipment and you could see where the rust is still through it right there but it's covered up in yellow and you'll you'll see it painted over splotches of grease and everything else and it's just like don't I mean I sold some stuff on auction and like one of the guys is this came to mind to me uh he came out and he bought one of the mowers I sold and it had four hours on it and he goes all right so how many hours are really on the mower and I said four and he looked at me and he says no really how many hours or more I said I use this mower to to mow a shopping mall and then an abandoned lot and now I'm selling it to you just to film so it's got four hours so that guy that's one of those stories where the guy like was like I thought that was a typo yeah nope and sweet scam or something nope it's the real deal your guys's turn next what's the worst piece of equipment you bought or what's the worst place that you've ever bought a piece of equipment because that's one of the that's why I feel really comfortable coming here no look iPad I drove past probably five or six Kubota dealers to come to you to buy and one of them was 20 miles from my home and a great shop love those great shop over there absolutely but I just have a really good feeling working with you if guys wanted to get because you can sell used equipment anywhere yes so with that being said you could sell a used piece of equipment to a guy in Florida or a guy in North Dakota or wherever and if they wanted to reach out to you how would they do it all right the best way honestly is just to call our it's 608-643-3321 um I always say I don't have to be the guy any of our sales guys are are very good you're not on commission I'm not on commission and that's what I love you know my thing is is that allows me to then be honest with the customer um I couldn't be honest if you're on commission I don't know I I feel like I can but at the same time I feel like it just allows you and I to have a better understanding of we're in this for you and I always feel like we're competing then and we're trying to take money away from Kubota they don't they don't probably want me to hear that hear me say that so the first thing Corey wants me to test is how smooth the Hydraulics operate in its lowest idle and then at its highest highest idle and see how it Compares I'm at the lowest…
