Kubota excavator track/idler issue after working around rocks — what happened here and how serious is it?
Hi everyone,
I was helping a friend with some work, and his Kubota excavator ended up in this condition after working around a lot of rocks. He was pretty upset because he thinks this is going to be an expensive repair and may require towing the machine out.
I don’t know much about excavators, but after looking at it visually, it doesn’t seem like anything obviously snapped in half. I’m attaching a few pictures and hoping someone more experienced can tell us what likely happened here, how bad it is, and what would be needed to get it repaired and back to work.
I also don’t know the exact model, only that it’s a Kubota excavator.
Any help is appreciated.
