Kubota’s ultra-compact U10-5 excavator features near-zero tail swing

Kubota’s new U10-5 compact excavator weighs in the 1-ton range with virtually zero tail swing – just half an inch above the tracks – retractable landing gear, best-in-class digging power and greater digging depth and reach.

This petite 2,646-pound workhorse made its debut at World of Concrete in Las Vegas.

“It’s a great machine that can work on single driveways, between houses or on fence lines,” said Patrick Baker, product manager for Kubota Construction Equipment. “You can easily fit into very tight, compact work spaces.”

The ultra-compact machine is ideal for rental, landscape, commercial construction, residential construction and utility construction, the manufacturer says.

Nimble and maneuverable

Hydraulic adjustable tracks can shift from 30 to 39 inches to get into narrow spaces and optimize digging performance.

“If you’re going to be doing a lot of dirt work, we recommend widening those tracks out, putting the dozer blade down and digging it out,” says Baker. “The dozer blade does also extend out. You can do a little bit of fine grading and backfilling. The blade goes a long way and sometimes gets forgotten, but it’s another very handy tool for those owner-operators.”

Familiar controls

Kubota has updated the operator station to standardize the joystick position and pattern across all of its excavator models for consistency and productivity.

“You have the mechanical joysticks out front. These are going to help you with tracking,” says Baker. “You’re actually going to operate the boom and arm in the house of the machine with side lever joysticks. This is going to give you a more consistent digging operation and a more productive operator position because you’re going to see these same pilot-controlled side lever joysticks now from our 1-ton all the way up to our largest excavator, the KX080-4.”

Enhanced digging and speed

The machine offers class-leading bucket breakout force in the 1-ton space at nearly 2,400 pounds per foot.

Dig depth has been increased by 3 inches from the previous generation to 5 feet 11 inches. Dig reach is 1 foot longer to 10 feet 11 inches.

Excavators aren’t typically known for speed, but the U10-5 offers a travel pedal to switch between high or low speed, with a class-leading top speed of 2.5 mph.

“When it comes to rental and you’re running back and forth all afternoon through a residential gate,” Baker says, “that time adds up to another half day or full day of rental.”

The 10.3-horsepower, Stage V-compliant Kubota D722-E4-BH-3EU 3 PS E-TVCS engine is easily accessible underneath the operator’s seat for routine maintenance and inspection. Kubota’s three vortex combustion system reduces exhaust emission, noise and vibration.

Additional features include:

  • A frame that is 300 pounds heavier for more solid positioning in the operator station.
  • Two pattern control, featuring both ISO and SAE operational patterns, which are easily changeable to the operator’s preference.
  • ROPS on the front of the machine to give it a minimal turning radius.
  • Upgraded LED work lights on the boom instead of halogen.
  • Peel-resistant seat and retractable seatbelt to reduce replacement intervals.
  • Prioritized foot space and legroom for operator comfort.

Kubota says the new model will be available in the second quarter of the year.

    of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has a
    lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems
    a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement.
    Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate

  23. I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of
    your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
    with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
    or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

  33. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and amusing, and let me tell
    you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

  36. Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
    or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I
    wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
