The Kubota KX018-4 has a newly designed boom arm with 35% more outreach than previous models in this category. Operators can use their full range of motion to complete tasks more efficiently and safely with increased reach and stability. This design’s added rigidity reduces vibrations and allows you to work around obstacles like power lines while increasing stability at any angle during digging operations.
The Kubota KX018 4 is powered by Kubota’s own diesel engine technology and has a compact design with an advanced hydraulic system and power steering system that makes it ideal for use in rough terrain. The Kubota KX018 mini excavator comes with a variety of optional attachments, including bucket sizes ranging from 0.8 m3 to 2 m3, large capacity trenching buckets ranging from 1 m3 to 2 m3, and demolition attachments such as breaker hammers, rock drills, and backfill blades.
The Kubota KX018-4 excavator delivers maximum productivity while providing operator comfort and safety, thanks to features such as Kubota’s exclusive Auto Power Mode function, which automatically adjusts engine output based on soil conditions, a compact design, and a dual-pin coupler.
