DIGITAL PANEL

Informative, interactive and functional. Kubota's all-new liquid crystal display (LCD) panel accurately shows easy-to-understand diagnostics and digital readings. The Kubota Intelligent Control System (KICS) will even alert the operator to when routine maintenance is due. Plus, when filling-up with fuel, the KICS informs the operator that the tank is nearly full. The panel reduces excavator downtime and repair fees for a decrease in total operating costs.

IMPROVED VISIBILITY

LARGE OPERATING SPACE WITH SUSPENSION SEAT

This roomy compact lets you work all day in comfort. It offers a more spacious and comfortable operator’s space than standard tail swing machines. Plus, a full suspension seat comes standard with armrests, a high-back and adjustable height and spring firmness, to further reduce operator fatigue.

AUTO IDLE SYSTEM

With the new standard auto idling system, an impressive machine even sitting still. Four seconds after the operation lever is returned to the neutral position, the engine cycle will automatically decelerate to its idling rpm. When the operation lever is moved again, the engine cycle automatically returns to its previous operating rpm. This feature improves safety, dramatically decreases operation noise and reduces fuel consumption by approximately 10%.

STRONGER BREAKOUT AND TRACTION FORCE

Break out of any rut with Kubota’s innovative hydraulic setting.
The bucket breakout and traction force is the strongest in its class. And its unmatched power and efficiency make it ideal for trenching and dozer work.

HYDRAULIC ANGLE BLADE

The Angle Blade requires only simple movement of the Dozer Lever not only to easily and accurately be raised or lowered, but also to adjust its angle of operation by as much as 25 degrees to either the left or the right. For backfilling operations, this outstanding feature means that the Angle Blade can be set to push excavated earth - regardless of which side of the trench it is piled upon - into the opening while the Kubota Model Excavator moves forward. As the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles to the trench being backfilled is eliminated, overall operational efficiency is significantly enhanced.

TIGHT REAR TAIL SWING

This is damage control at its best. For greater visibility and rear end protection, the cropped and contoured rear overhang is only 4.5 inches, for one of the tightest tail swings in the industry. Plus, the engine hood, is placed inside the counterweight for added interior component protection and stability. Now, work in complete confidence knowing that Kubota has done its part to keep your running and repair costs to a minimum.

LOAD SENSING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

At last, a smart, no nonsense hydraulic system in a compact excavator. That’s what you get from the load sensing hydraulic system. Kubota has applied its unique and advanced hydraulic setting to the load sensing system by eliminating unnecessary oil flow and wasted energy for smoother operation. Control valves automatically regulate and distribute the optimum amount of oil to each cylinder based on the weight of the load. Now, operators need not change lever strokes to adjust the amount of oil required for different job loads. Instead, users need only concentrate on the feather touch control levers for fluid operation regardless of the load size. As a result, ease of use as well as fuel efficiency is improved. In fact, fuel consumption is reduced by an astounding 20%.

CLEAN, EFFICIENT POWERFUL KUBOTA DIESEL ENGINE

Kubota excavators feature proven Kubota diesel engines. Performance matched to each excavator, they provide dependable power at low sound levels with the highest fuel efficiency while meeting emissions standards. In cold weather, the super glow preheat system ensures engine starts as low as -20ºC in 10 seconds! Easily accessible dual element air cleaners provide extra protection in the toughest conditions. And an electric fuel pump automatically bleeds the fuel lines should the fuel run out.

ULTRA LOW NOISE LEVEL

Now hear this. By incorporating Kubota’s unique ultra low noise level design, machine noise has been drastically reduced. Work worry free day or night, in residential areas, or near schools and hospitals. Plus, cabin area sound levels have also been kept low to help eliminate operator fatigue.

HYDRAULIC ANGLE BLADE WITH FLOATING POSITION

An incredible time-saving feature that'll astound you. With a simple movement of the dozer lever, you're set to push soil into the trench as the Angle Blade excavator moves forward. Best of all, operational efficiency is greatly increased because with our angle blade it doesn't matter which side of the trench the dirt is pilled on. And with Float Position, it is very easy and fast to do finishing work. It reduces the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles to the trench when backfilling.

ANGLE BLADE

Moving only in a forward direction, backfilling is performed smoothly and efficiently.

STANDARD BLADE

Without the angle blade feature, the need for time-consuming repetitive repositioning at right angles to the trench is required.
