Updates across Kubota’s excavator line, as well as a brand-new model, have been unveiled for 2021. The most notable update is the U48-5, a brand-new model and Kubota’s response to the growing four-to-six ton excavator market. The reduced tail swing U48-5 compact excavator will complement the U Series and bridge a size gap between Kubota’s KX040-4 and its U55-4.
In addition, the manufacturer will be updating several other excavators. Kubota’s next generation of excavators will include various engineering refinements with a continued focus on technology and precision control, enhanced operator comfort and consistent high performance.
