There’s a lot to like about Kubota’s new U10-5 mini excavators. They’re ultra-compact so you easily work 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 mini excavators to get the job done with speed and efficiency.
KUBOTA ENGINE
The U10-5 is powered by Kubota’s impressive D722-E4-BH-3EU 3 PS E-TVCS engine. The unique Kubota Three Vortex Combustion System reduces exhaust emission, noise and vibration. The Stage V compliant engine meets all current engine emission regulations.
NEW SIDE LEVER LAYOUT
The control levers have been moved to the sides of the seat for a better, more relaxed operator working posture and improved forward visibility.
PERFORMANCE
Small in size, the Kubota mini excavators are big in performance and safety. From an adjustable track gauge and two-speed travel pedal (U10-5 only) to Engine Safety Start and a new boom-mounted LED work light, this mini excavator is designed for maximum performance and safety.
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 travelling between on-site locations more efficient.
HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM
The U10-5’s hydraulic 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 K008-5 and 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.
UNLOAD LEVER
The unload lever enhances work safety by preventing unintended operation of the front attachment, dozer, AUX, swiveling, or travelling when the machine is in locked position.
NEW LED BOOM WORK LIGHT
Bright LED boom work light provides plenty of illumination for nighttime tasks
FULL OPENING ENGINE COVER
The engine cover’s tilt-up operation exposes most of the engine—providing easier access to components.
PROTECTED HYDRAULIC SERVICE PORT PIPES
With the K008-5 and 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.
TWO-PIECE HOSE DESIGN
When an on-site replacement of a dozer cylinder supply hose is necessary, its two-piece design simplifies the job.
KUBOTA ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Only programmed keys will enable the engine to start up. Attempting to start with an un-programmed key will activate the alarm. Its features include an alert to remind the operator to extract the key after operation, and an LED to alert potential thieves that the system is activated.
