Kubota’s Stage V compliant D902 engine enables high-energy output, low vibration and low fuel consumption, while minimising exhaust emissions.

● Kubota’s Stage V compliant D902 engine is at the heart of the U17‑5, meeting all current engine emission regulations.

● The rear bonnet, side covers and under-seat panel open without the need for tools, allowing quick and easy maintenance access.

● Convenient access to the engine oil gauge, radiator, battery, air and fuel filters, and other key components.

● Lift the rubber mat and open the floor plate for easy inspection and servicing of the under-deck hydraulics.

● The U17‑5’s bonnet and side covers are made of durable steel for enhanced protection and longevity.

An extendable undercarriage (990 → 1 300 mm) improves stability between the dozer and bucket, making it easier to collect soil close to the machine.

● The boom cylinder is mounted above the boom for protection during breaking or dumping operations.

● Smooth movement and lifting power are achieved via a large-diameter boom cylinder rod and optimised hydraulic pressure.

● Standard hydraulic features include a pressure accumulator, pressure checking ports, a third-line direct return for AUX, a variable-displacement pump, and a straight-travel circuit.

● Travel motor hoses are routed within the track frame for added protection—unique in this mini‑excavator class.

● Front cylinder hoses are routed through the boom, extending service life and enhancing operator visibility.

● Auxiliary hoses terminate at the top of the arm to protect them when using narrow-width buckets.

● Two-piece hose configurations on both dozer and boom cylinders reduce hose-replacement time.

A reach of up to 3,880 mm and a maximum dig depth of 2,310 mm makes the U17‑5 a top performer in its class.

● Kubota’s zero-tail swing ensures full 360˚ rotation with outstanding stability and smooth control, allowing powerful, efficient operation even in tight or high-traffic areas.

● The dozer lever includes a 2-speed travel switch, enabling the operator to shift between power and speed modes during levelling based on load conditions.

● Clear and functional, Kubota’s front meter panel displays vital information including engine rpm, hour meter, fuel, temperature, and oil levels, along with maintenance alerts.

● The panel notifies the operator when the fuel tank is nearly full and provides reminders for routine service, helping reduce downtime and overall operating costs.

● For enhanced durability, bushings are used on all pivot points of the swing bracket and critical joints, and are easily replaceable if needed.
