Kubota Tractor’s newest member of the company’s KX compact excavator series, the KX033-4, debuted at the 2017 World of Concrete. The 3-ton-class excavator now shares many of the standard features of Kubota’s larger class machines, including a larger cab, dash-controlled presets for auxiliary circuits and a standard hydraulic diverter valve. It is available at dealerships this month.

Powered by a 24.8-gross-horsepower direct injection Kubota Tier 4 Final engine, the machine has adjustable hydraulics that allow the operator to program up to five different oil flow rates, controlled from a digital control panel. The engine rpms may be set to automatically idle when the control levels are in neutral for more than four seconds, giving the unit increased fuel efficiency and lower noise. The conventional-tail-swing KX033-4 has a dig depth of 10 feet 6 inches, and replaces the KX91-3.
