Kubota K008-3

FOLDABLE ROPS

Roll-Over Protective Structure provides you with an extra measure of safety. It folds down to make easier transporting and storage of the excavator.

HANDY TOOLBOX

To help you perform basic maintenance, the K008-3 comes complete with a toolbox conveniently located under the operator's seat.

RELIABLE KUBOTA E-TVCS ENGINE

Super dependable and efficient, the combustion created by our engine's unique Three Vortex Combustion System reduces exhaust emission, noise, and vibration.

FAST AND EASY MAINTENANCE

A full-open bonnet and new engine layout make daily inspection and maintenance of essential components a snap. Both features now provide you with easy access to the radiator, battery, coolant, fuel filter, and dual-element air-cleaner.

PROTECTED AUXILIARY HOSES

By routing its auxiliary hydraulic hoses through the boom, the K008-3 no longer requires lengthy hoses when connecting your implements. Furthermore, a shorter hose length greatly reduces the risk of snagging and causing damage.

PROTECTED BUCKET HOSES

By running inside the dipper arm, the bucket hoses are well protected from damage.

WIDER WORKING RANGE

For maximum productivity, its digging/dumping heights, digging depths, and digging radius at ground level have all been increased.

IMPROVED HOSE AND ROOM CYLINDER PROTECTION

All the hydraulic hoses are hidden within the boom and dipper arm. With the boom cylinder mounted on top of the boom, the K008-3 increases service life by offering outstanding protection from damage.

TPSS

TPSS is standard equipment, allowing the operator to select the most familiar operating control pattern, either ISO or SAE.

SPACIOUS OPERATOR’S AREA

You'll find it more comfortable behind the operating levers of the K008-3. That's because we've generously increased the space between the operating levers and the operator's seat, and lengthened the floorboards.

ADJUSTABLE WIDTH TRACK FRAME

To enable passage through narrow spaces such as doorways and gates, the adjustable width track frame can reduce the K008-3's track width down to 700mm by simply operating a single lever. Plus, changing the blade width is as easy as removing one pin by hand.

COMFORTABLE OPERATOR’S SEAT

Well padded and contoured, you'll truly appreciate the comfort of its operator's seat, especially during long days of operation.

PEDAL-OPERATED BOOM SWING

A convenient toe-heel pedal lets you easily operate both the boom swing and upper-house swivel at the same time.

SWING BRACKET PIN BUSHINGS

To increase life of components, swing bracket pins have bushings.

TWO-SPEED TRAVEL

Need to make up time? Step on the K008-3's hi-speed pedal, and you'll maneuver around job sites faster than any other compact excavator in its class.

TWO WAY LEVER

Located within easy reach, it gives you quick control of either blade or track gauge.
