Tough job? Tight spaces? The Kubota U17 Compact Excavator is here to save the day. Standard two speed travel ensures you’re in total control of your excavator and a variable width undercarriage allows for maneuverability through narrow areas such as doors or gates. Rubber tracks make for a smoother ride and from your seat in the comfortable and spacious operator’s station, you’ll make ample use of the U17’s 16.1 horsepower rating. Kubota is the world’s #1 selling compact excavator for 20 years.*
*According to 2023 data from Off-Highway Research including all Kubota Group brand sales.
To enable passage through narrow spaces such as doorways and gates, the adjustable width track frame can reduce by simply operating a single lever. Plus, changing the blade width is as easy as removing one pin by hand.
**Available on U17
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.
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.
All Kubota excavators have a two speed drive that allows for efficient machine maneuverability and backfill operations.
