The Kubota U17-3a is designed to deliver exceptional digging depth and reach, making it a powerful and efficient tool for a wide range of tasks. The extended dozer length optimizes the distance between the dozer and the bucket, enabling quick and efficient soil collection close to the machine. With its wide working range and zero-tail swing design, the U17-3a is capable of completing a variety of jobs with maximum productivity. Outstanding Travel Performance: The Kubota U17-3a offers powerful travel performance, enhanced by new short paved rubber crawlers that minimize vibration, providing improved operator comfort. Zero-Tail Swing: This advanced feature allows the U17-3a to operate with a 360-degree swing, ensuring excellent stability and smooth control. The zero-tail oscillation design makes this mini excavator ideal for use in confined spaces, heavy traffic areas, and within buildings. Protected Front & Auxiliary Hoses: The U17-3a’s front cylinder hoses are routed through the boom for enhanced protection, extended service life, and improved operator visibility. The auxiliary hoses are designed to extend only to the top of the arm, protecting them from potential damage when using narrow-width buckets. 2-Piece Hose Design: The two-piece hose configuration on the dozer and boom cylinders reduces hose replacement time, increasing efficiency and minimizing downtime. Protected Motor Hoses: For added durability, Kubota has enclosed the travel motor hoses within the track frame, a unique feature for mini excavators in this class. The Kubota U17-3a combines unmatched performance, efficiency, and protection, making it a top choice for operators who need a versatile and reliable mini excavator capable of tackling a wide variety of tasks.
