Hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade

Kubota's hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade can be angled right and left – and now, tilted as well. This blade enables six different positions: neutral, float-up, left-end-up, right-end-up, left-end-forward and right-end-forward. This feature makes leveling and backfilling work incredibly easy, even on inclines and uneven terrain, making you more productive and more efficient.

Clean Running Kubota Tier 4 Engine

Kubota excavators are all powered by Kubota Tier 4 emission engines. The modern engine design maximizes digging and lifting performance, delivers minimized noise and vibration and meets the latest engine emission regulation.

Two Speed Travel

All Kubota excavators have a two speed drive that allows for efficient machine maneuverability and backfill operations.

Changeable Control Pattern

Convenient Two-pattern Selection System (TPSS) allows you to change between ISO and SAE operating patterns with a quick flip of the TPSS switch – without tools or leaving your seat.
