This unique function lets you control the oil flow according to your needs or the attachment in use. It eliminates the hassle of using tools to change settings manually, so you don’t have to leave the cabin. When using a tilt bucket, you can slow the flow to get just the right control to gently shape a swale. Alternatively, for a brush cutter, direct the oil flow to one side of the excavator arm. The system will even store your settings for the next time you need it, saving time and quickly regulating the flow requirements. 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.
The swivel negative brake automatically locks the swivel function in its current position. This prevents unexpected machine movement. It’s particularly useful during work on slopes or when hauling the machine.
A digital panel and the Kubota Intelligent Control System (KICS) help reduce excavator downtime and repair fees by providing accurate and timely diagnostic readings and routine maintenance alerts. The panel not only lets you know when fuel is running low, but warns you during refueling when the tank is nearly full.
When working with one-way hydraulic attachments, such as a breaker or brush cutter, the standard third-line hydraulic return system allows oil to flow directly back to the tank without running through the control valves. This contributes to less oil contamination, reduced back pressure, and greater oil flow efficiency.
