Full description:
Ultra-compact dimensions, superb operator protection, minimal tail swing…everything you need to get the job done.
There’s a lot to like about Kubota’s new ultra-compact excavators. They’re so compact you can easily work safely in tight spots. They also have an improved control layout and upgraded comfort features to keep you working efficiently and comfortably. Best of all, you can depend on these Kubota ultra-compact excavators to get the job done with speed and efficiency.
SIDE LEVER LAYOUT
- The control levers of the U10-5 are positioned to the sides of the seat for a better, more relaxed operator working posture and excellent forward visibility.
PERFORMANCE / SAFETY
From an adjustable track gauge and two-speed travel pedal to Engine Safety Start and a new boom-mounted LED work light, this ultra-compact excavator is designed for maximum performance and safety.
Adjustable Track Gauge
- With easy, single-lever operation, the U10-5’s hydraulically adjustable track gauge reduces in seconds—down to 750 mm—to enable navigation in narrow spaces. Conversely, you can widen the track gauge all the way out to 990 mm. With the simple removal of one pin, its quick-fold blade adjusts in size instantly. When adjusted down, these ultra-compact excavators can easily fit through most doorways, permitting access inside of buildings.
Digging Range
- The Kubota ultra-compact excavators excel at digging, with surprisingly wide working and digging ranges for such compact excavators.
Hydraulic Pilot Control System
- The U10-5’s hydraulic pilot control system means smoother operation, improved feel, and an increase in digging productivity.
Boom Cylinder Protection Design
- Notice the clean, hose-free look of the U10-5’s boom. That is because all of their hydraulic hoses are uniquely hidden and protected inside the boom. In addition, the boom cylinder is well protected due to its location at the top of the boom.
Engine Safety Start
- The Engine Safety Start system prevents the engine from starting when the levers are lowered. This system prevents unexpected excavator and attachment movement when starting the machine.
Two-speed Travel Pedal
- This pedal lets you easily switch between high and low speeds, so you can work at your own pace. Simply depress the pedal for high-speed travel, or release it for low speed. This feature makes traveling between on-site locations more efficient.
Unload Lever
- The unload lever enhances work safety by preventing unintended operation of the front attachment, dozer, AUX, swiveling, or traveling when the machine is in locked position.
New LED Boom Work Light
- Bright LED boom work light provides plenty of illumination for nighttime tasks.
TPSS
- TPSS is standard equipment, allowing the operator to select the most familiar operating control pattern, either ISO or SAE.
Foldable ROPS
- For additional versatility, a foldable rollover protective structure is fitted as standard. Folding the ROPS down lets you easily transport the ultra-compact excavator on trucks, and travel under doorways to work indoors.
SERVICE
Thanks to a full-opening engine cover that provides easy access to the engine and conveniently located and protected hydraulic service port pipes, maintenance is simple.
Full Opening Engine Cover
- The engine covers tilt-up operation exposes most of the engine — providing easier access to components.
Two-piece Hose Design
- When an on-site replacement of a dozer cylinder supply hose is necessary, its two-piece design simplifies the job.
Protected Hydraulic Service Port Pipes
- With the U10-5, you’ll never need to replace the hydraulic service port pipes again. To reduce the risk of damaging the hydraulic piping, the service port pipes are hidden inside the boom, and its service ports are conveniently located at the end of the boom.
