Product Features
Kubota’s U17-3 zero-tail swing compact excavator gives you the performance and efficiency you need in tight spaces. This compact excavator delivers the power you need, the control you want, and the smooth performance you demand that will help you get the job done more efficiently and more productively.
Engine
The U17-3 delivers the power and dependability your work requires. In addition to its superior 16.1HP (gross) and performance, it also offers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency, and complies with the EPA’s 2013 Tier IV emissions regulations.
Comfort
Interactive digital panel puts all functions at your fingertips for operator convenience. Ergonomically designed controls and full suspension seat help reduce operator fatigue during those long hours. Double flanged track rollers improve stability and travel performance for operator comfort. A 2-speed travel switch located on the dozer lever for operator convenience and comfort while provides enhanced control.
Hydraulics
A quick flip of a lever lets you switch operating patterns from ISO to SAE or vice versa. Located above the boom, the boom cylinder remains safe from damage during breaker or dumping operations. The cylinder design features a larger diameter rod and increased hydraulic pressure for greater lifting power and optimum front attachment speeds. Smooth operation across a wide range of jobs is assured, thanks to the U17-3’s advanced variable displacement pumps and Hydraulic Matching System. The U17-3’s auxiliary hydraulic system accommodates a variety of attachments, such as breakers and augers. Standard equipment includes port pipes on the arm, bi-directional auxiliary hydraulic controls, and a control valve. The auxiliary hydraulic connections are located within easy reach and incorporate short hoses that are less likely to become tangled or damaged.
Front Bush Pins
Pin bushings are installed at all of the pivot points along the swing bracket, boom, arm, and bucket. Pin type bushings not only last longer, they are easier to replace when necessary.
Stability
The U17-3’s double flanged track rollers improve stability and travel performance for operator comfort. A 2-speed travel switch located on the dozer lever for operator convenience and comfort while provides enhanced control. Its tracks can be expanded up to 1,240mm to offer stability or retracted to 990mm to fit through narrow pathways, for greater flexibility and function when tackling any job.
Breakout Force
The U17-3 has the power you need for heavy loads and tough excavating jobs, a breakout force of 1550 kg, with the dedicated bucket and quick coupler.
Versatility
Tracks can be expanded up to 1,240mm to offer stability or retracted to 990mm to fit through narrow pathways, for greater flexibility and function when tackling any job. Excellent lifting capacity for digging, lifting, and loading is provided by a powerful and responsive front working group. Even when working to the side, using hydraulic attachments, or lifting heavy objects, the U17-3 has excellent stability, thanks to its innovative counter balancing technology, long tumbler distance, low centre of gravity and smooth operation. The U17-3’s excellent reach and digging depth ensure that each digging job is performed with maximum efficiency and speed.
