Tough job? Tight spaces? The Kubota U17 Compact Excavator is here to save the day. Standard two speed travel ensures you’re in total control of your excavator and a variable width undercarriage allows for maneuverability through narrow areas such as doors or gates. Rubber tracks make for a smoother ride and from your seat in the comfortable and spacious operator’s station, you’ll make ample use of the U17’s 16.1 horsepower rating. Kubota is the world’s #1 selling compact excavator for 19 years.*

Features & Details

Variable Width Undercarriage**

To enable passage through narrow spaces such as doorways and gates, the adjustable width track frame can reduce by simply operating a single lever. Plus, changing the blade width is as easy as removing one pin by hand.

**Available on U17
