The U48-5 is a brand-new machine that gives Kubota and customers flexibility in the compact excavator model line up across conventional and reduced tail swing offerings in the 2-to-6-ton weight classes.
Kubota Tractor Corporation announced its newest compact excavator, the U48-5, a brand new tight tail swing model that builds upon Kubota's U Series with a powerful 5 ton (4.8 t), technology-forward machine packed with features that deliver enhanced performance, comfort and tech options for ultimate operator customization to meet every need and tackle every job.
This announcement comes on the heels of the company's recent introduction of the new KX057-5 and the U55-5, both offering various upgrades from their previous -4 models. The company also launched a new quick coupler for its 3-4-ton excavator class, now available for the KX040 at Kubota dealerships.
