- Clean-running Kubota Engine (Interim Tier IV)
Powerful and dependable, the KX161-3S's diesel engine delivers superior horsepower and performance. It offers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency, and complies with the EPA's 2008 interim Tier IV emissions regulations.
- Angle Blade (Option)
Save time and work more efficiently. With a simple movement of the dozer lever, the hydraulic angle blade can be angled to the right or left to push soil to the side as the machine moves forward, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches.
- Adjustable max. oil flow on auxiliary circuit
The digital instrument panel lets you control the oil flow according to your needs or the attachment in use. It eliminates the hassle of using tools to change settings manually, so you don't have to leave the cabin. When using a tilt bucket, you can slow the flow to get just the right control to gently shape a swale. Alternatively, for a brush cutter, direct the oil flow to one side of the excavator arm. The system will even store your settings for the next time you need it, saving time and quickly regulating the flow requirements. Adjustable oil flow enhances performance and saves fuel.
- Stronger breakout and traction force
- Even when heavily loaded, the KX161-3S won't slow down, thanks to its powerful breakout force. With the pin-on or quick coupler bucket, the bucket breakout force is more than enough for even the toughest excavating jobs.
- Load-sensing hydraulic system
- You no longer need to change lever strokes to adjust the amount of oil required for varying job loads. Control valves automatically regulate and distribute the optimum amount of oil to each cylinder based on the weight of the load, resulting in perfectly matched speed, power, and cylinder timing. Even the slightest operator movements produce smooth and simultaneous operation of the boom, arm, bucket and house.
- Auto idle system
- Save fuel with Kubota's Auto Idle. When the control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, the engine RPM automatically idles. Move any control lever and the engine RPM immediately returns. This innovative feature reduces noise and exhaust emissions while reducing operating costs.
- Air-conditioned cab option
The air conditioner filter cartridge features a new frame which is easy to access and slides out for cleaning and maintenance.
- Thumb bracket and relief valve as standard
The factory-installed thumb bracket and relief valve significantly reduce the time needed to mount the optional hydraulic thumb.
