As featured in Construction Equipment’s article “Kubota U17-5 Compact Excavator,” the new U17-5 zero-tail swing excavator brings precision, stability, and smarter hydraulic control to compact jobsites. Replacing the U17VR1 in Kubota’s lineup, the U17-5 packs impressive performance into a small, maneuverable footprint.
Powered by a 16.1-horsepower Kubota diesel engine, the U17-5 delivers:
- A digging depth of 7 feet 6.2 inches
- A dumping height of 8 feet 1.2 inches
- A bucket breakout force of 3,547 pounds
Despite weighing just 3,902 pounds, the U17-5 provides performance typically expected from larger machines, while offering true zero-tail swing for operation in confined areas like residential sites, urban jobs, and inside structures.
