Kubota introduces the U55, its largest model in the U-Series of compact excavators. With a medium-length arm that enhances arm crowd force, a wide doorway and plenty of operator space, the U55 replaces Kubota’s KX161-3 compact excavator. A 47.6-gross-hp, direct-injection Kubota diesel engine features single-side servicing and includes an auto-idle feature that conserves fuel and reduces noise level. A new, load-sensing hydraulic system employs a combination of closed and open center controls to ensure strong digging forces and minimize slow down during travel when using attachments.
