2017 Kubota KX080-4

Features may include:

• The Common Rail System (CRS) electronically controls the fuel injection timing and amount in stages rather than all at once for optimal combustion. The results are great efficiency, better fuel economy and less engine noise. Its combination with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler reduces harmful emissions to make the KX080-4 Tier IV compliant.

• Kubota’s original automatic regeneration system automatically burns accumulated particulate matter (soot) in the DPF muffler when the engine exceeds 1800 rpm to keep the muffler clean for longer operation. For safety reasons, automatic regeneration can be turned off with the inhibit switch when the excavator is operating in areas that are prone to fires.

• Kubota’s original ECO PLUS® prioritizes fuel economy, and supports the environment. For tough digging applications, use Standard Mode and experience a 5% productivity improvement over the prior model and use less fuel, up to 12% less.

• An auxiliary circuit (AUX2) comes standard on the KX080-4. The convenient thumb-operated switch allows easy proportional flow control of the auxiliary circuit, while a forefinger-operated on/off switch enables simple operation of special applications that require a constant oil flow. The maximum oil flow setting is conveniently adjustable from the digital panel. You can even program up to five oil flow rates corresponding to specific attachments so they can be quickly retrieved for the next job.

• This unique function lets you control the oil flow and eliminates the hassle of using tools to change settings manually. The system will even store your settings for the next time you need it. Adjustable oil flow enhances performance and saves fuel.

• Save fuel with Kubota's Auto Idle. Reduce engine RPM instinctively when high engine speed isn’t needed. When the control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, the engine RPM automatically idles. Move any control lever and the engine RPM immediately returns. This innovative feature reduces noise and exhaust emissions while reducing operating costs.

• Thanks to its contoured, tight tail design created by the shorter rear overhang, the KX080-4 has excellent stability, can handle a wider range of loads, and can work in more restrictive spaces. The compact 7’2.6” width of the under-carriage makes it ideal for working in close conditions, and much easier to transport between job sites.

• You need exceptional power when trenching through compacted soil. With the KX080-4, elevated productivity levels are certain with the combination of 14,660 lbs. bucket force and 8,554 lbs. arm forces. The KX080-4 powers through those demanding applications so that you can quickly move on to the next job.

• Now your excavator moves how you want it to–even at high speeds. When working with heavy loads, making turns or backfilling trenches, the system automatically downshifts for more torque. This shift is so smooth and seamless you’ll feel as though you’ve never left high speed.
