KUBOTA MINI EXCAVATOR

Kubota’s new KX018-4 mini excavator raises the standard in the 1.5-2.0 tonne category with a powerful digging force and a wider working range that rival higher-end excavators. And with enhanced accessibility to sites such as roadsides or residential areas, the KX018-4 gets the jobs done easier from large construction areas to the tightest of places.

Enhanced digging force The KX018-4 delivers an impressive bucket digging force. Its powerful and well-balanced arm and bucket allow the operator to dig faster and more efficiently even in the toughest conditions. Kubota original engine

Variable track gauge To optimise stability when using heavy attachments, the KX018-4 tracks can be expanded to a maximum of 1,300mm and retracted to 990mm to make passing through narrow doorways and tight work possible. Either adjustment can be made in just seconds by operating the independent track gauge lever.

The KX018-4 is powered by Kubota’s impressive D902 15.8 PS engine. Engineered with the power to maximise digging and lifting performance, it also delivers

minimised noise and vibration, meeting the engine emission regulations.

1300mm 990mm

Short-pitched rubber crawler and double-flanged track rollers The KX018-4 features a short-pitched rubber crawler that minimises vibration. Double-flanged rollers improve stability and travel performance.

Auto-shift The auto-shift system enables automatic travel shift between high and low depending on traction effort and terrain. This gives smoother operations when dozing and turning.

Offering one of the largest cabins in its class with ample legroom, adjustable seating and a wide door, the KX018-4 brings more comfort to tough work. Combined with the handy new multifunctional digital panel, operations are now easier than ever.

New digital panel Following the excellence of Kubota’s Intelligent Control System, the new digital panel puts convenience at the operator’s fingertips. The user-friendly digital panel is positioned to the front right corner of the operator for better visibility, and features one-touch button operation to view the time, hour meter and tachometer. Warning lamps with code numbers on the display will alert you in case of emergencies such as overheating, hydraulic problems or low battery. Programming of the anti-theft keys can also be easily performed with the digital panel. With easier access, simpler settings, easy-to-read indicators and alerts, you’ll always be aware of the excavator’s functioning status.

Spacious cabin To minimise fatigue, our new larger cabin delivers more comfort over our previous model. It provides more legroom with a flat floor plus an adjustable suspension seat. Easy cabin entry and exit Increasing the cabin door width by 30% at the narrowest point allows quick access to and from the cabin making operations that require frequent exiting, such as trenching and piping, much easier.

The KX018-4 offers added peace-of-mind with extremely high levels of safety and durability. Furthermore, Kubota simplifies inspections and repairs with easier accessibility to the major components.

Easy maintenance Kubota has made routine maintenance extremely simple by consolidating primary engine components onto one side for easier access. Engine and other vital components can be inspected quickly and easily.
