The Kubota U48 Compact Excavator comes equipped with a clean-running Kubota Tier 4 engine that delivers outstanding digging and lifting power. With 40.4 horsepower and a 9,304-pound breakout force, this excavator is designed to work hard while still minimizing noise and vibration. The 17.4-gallon fuel tank ensures fewer interruptions, keeping you focused on your work. The U48’s two-speed drive also promotes productivity, letting you move quickly across your job site.
This model also features Kubota’s convenient Two-Pattern Selection System (TPSS), which allows operators to seamlessly switch between ISO and SAE operating patterns. The proportional AUX flow switch comes in handy as well, simplifying the operation of hydraulic attachments such as thumbs, augers, and breakers. Lastly, buyers can opt for a hydraulic angle blade to reach peak efficiency. This blade can angle to the left or right, letting you push soil to the side while moving forward. This eliminates the need for constant repositioning during backfilling, making the process faster and easier!
The U48 is engineered by workers, for workers — every detail is designed to support you throughout the workday. It's incredibly comfortable, featuring a spacious operator station, ample legroom, and an adjustable seat. The seven-inch LCD color display makes crucial information more accessible than ever, and the standard rearview camera improves overall visibility. Working year-round? The optional enclosed cab and improved climate-control system will shield you from even the most extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, the new keyless start feature improves security by requiring a unique passcode — up to 10 user passcodes can be stored at a time.
