Zero-Tail Swing virtually eliminates costly damage to the engine hood and side panels when working in tight situations or near structures. As the U35S2 rotates, the counterweight area stays inside the width of the tracks, letting you concentrate on the job in front without worrying about hitting objects at the back or side. For added safety and improved operator visibility, the engine hood is set 5 inches inside the edge of the counterweight.

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.

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.

Smooth operation is a must when you’re working in close quarters. Kubota’s unique hydraulic system and large-capacity variable displacement pumps put the U35S2’s speed and power under smooth, precise control. The performance matched boom, arm, and bucket greatly improve job efficiency. With all that hydraulic power harnessed in the front working group.

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 towing the excavator between worksites.

The accumulator makes replacing attachments safer and more efficient. Turning the key to the “on” position clears residual pressure in the auxiliary hydraulic hose. If the engine is accidentally shut off while the front attachment is raised, turning the key to the “on” position allows you to safely lower it.
