ENGINE
- Powered by a high power, reliable, economic, Stage V-compliant, direct-injection Kubota D1803-CR-T-E5 3 cylinder diesel engine, you can look forward to minimum vibration, low noise and miserly fuel consumption.
- Automatic DPF regeneration for reduced down-time and maintenance thanks to an increase in service intervals for both the regeneration filter and ash cleaner.
- Kubota’s Auto Idling System is fitted as standard. When control levers are left in neutral for longer than 4 seconds, the system automatically reduces the engine to idling RPM.
- Routine maintenance is made simpler with access to all main engine components positioned on one-side for easier and quick inspection.
HYDRAULICS
- Kubota’s load-sensing 2-pump hydraulic system ensures smooth operation regardless of load size
- Two auxiliary circuits come as standard with precise oil flow programmable (up to five oil flow rates) for specific attachments into the memory of the digital display panel.
- Includes a manual third line hydraulic return.
VERSATILITY
- The dozer float function makes ground finishing work faster and easy. After back filling, simply travel backward along the covered ditch with the dozer in the float position.
- A tight tail swing means the U50-5 is highly versatile when you’re operating in locations where space is restricted.
PERFORMANCE
- Well-balanced machine with an outstanding 5.85m arm reach, delivering an impressive digging force up to 32.8kN, enabling operators to dig faster and more efficiently even in tough conditions.
- The two-speed auto-shift feature automatically adjusts speed and traction force depending on load size and terrain, providing smoother turns and dozer work.
COMFORT
- A wide, spacious cab is designed for comfort with wide door access and ample footspace.
- The U50-5 offers superb all-round vision including a skylight and easy-open gas-assisted front window and air conditioning for improved productivity.
- Additional noise reduction materials in the engine compartment and cab floor help reduce the operational sound to 71dB – 74dB, protecting the operator’s hearing as well as providing a less stressful working environment
- Features include a double-adjustable air suspension seat*, enlarged foot space, and ergonomically shaped pedals, all designed to provide the optimum working environment.
- A compact key pad places all of the main switches the right side of the operator for easier access.
- A 7-inch full colour digital display screen features Kubota’s Intelligent Control System. Accurate displays of all necessary readings - such as routine maintenance alerts, engine temperature and a 90-day usage register (for machine hours worked) – are all at the operator’s fingertips.
- Kubota Tracking System fitted as standard for increased productivity, enhanced security and reduced downtime. AEMP API enabled.
SAFETY
- Bright LED work lights, with a programmable delayed turn-off, ensure a safe exit from the machine at the end of the day.
- A highly visible orange seatbelt and alert function encourages the operator to wear the seatbelt.
- An optional (fitted as standard on the high spec model) rear-view camera significantly improves working visibility towards the rear of the mini excavator by displaying the view on a 7” LCD screen in the cab.
- An optional travel alarm warns nearby workers when moving.
- The U50-5 is fitted with anti-drop safety valves on the boom and arm as standard. The boom valve is also a boom-lowering control device.
- The swivel negative brake locks the top frame in position when the engine is stopped or the pilot control safety lever is raised.
- To ensure operator safety, the machine will only operate when the safety control lever is engaged.
- The machine is fitted with an overload warning buzzer.
- Additional top frame tie down points to ensure safe securing of the machine whilst being transported.
- Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Operator Protective Guard (OPG, Top Guard Level I) as standard. Level II available as an option with Top Guard to maximise safety.
