Kubota Zero Tail Swing Compact Excavator U45 42.0HP |
|
| More power, more versatility, and more operator comfort in a compact, high performance excavator | |
| With zero-tail swing, event he tightest spaces become efficient work places. Because the tail always stays within the width of the tracks, you can turn the house throughout its 360-degree turning radius without damage to the machine or surroundings. Zero-tail swing also ensures excellent balance and stability and faster operation, making the U45 ideal for work in congested urban areas. |

DIGITAL PANEL Informative, interactive and functional. Kubota's all-new liquid crystal display (LCD) panel accurately displays easy to understand diagnostics and digital readings. When filling-up with fuel, our Intelligent Control System (KICS) informs the operator that the tank is nearly full, as well as alerts the operator to when routine maintenance is due. The panel reduces excavator downtime and repair fees for a decrease in total operating costs. |

Fuel Overflow Prevention The U25's fuel system warns you when the tank is nearly full. To begin refueling, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and press any of the buttons on the digital panel. The system will begin beeping. When the tank is nearly full, the interval between the beeps will become shorter. |
| ANGLE BLADE with floating position |

The angle blade saves time and lets you work more efficiently along side walls, near busy roads, and other space-restricted areas. With a simple movement of the dozer lever, the hydraulic angle blade can be set 25-deg. to the right or left to push soil as the machine moves forward, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches. The blade has a convenient floating position that simplifies ground-finishing work, since you don't need to keep adjusting the dozer height. |

LOAD SENSING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM With Kubota's advanced Load Sensing Hydraulic System, even the slightest lever movements produce smooth and simultaneous operation of the boom, are, bucket, and house. Control valves automatically regulate and distribute the optimum amount of oil to each cylinder based on the weight of the load, resulting in perfectly matched speed, power, and cylinder timing.

Strong Bucket Breakout Force Strong breakout force keeps the U45 working efficiently even under the heaviest of loads. With the dedicated bucket and quick coupler, the bucket breakout force tops 8,700 lbs, more than enough for even the toughest excavating jobs. |
Thumb Bracket The factory-installed hydraulic thumb bracket and auxiliary hydraulics significantly reduce the time needed to mount accessories. The optional thumb allows you to handle a variety of loading and digging jobs without stopping to change implements. |
Boom Cylinder Protection The reinforced v-shaped guard protects the boom cylinder rod from damage caused by accidental contact with attachments, rocks, or loads. |

MAX DIGGING DEPTH: 11'10" MAX DIGGING HEIGHT: 18'1" MAX DIGGING RADIUS AT GROUND: 19'3" |
Excellent Lifting Capacity and Working Range A powerful and responsive front working group provides excellent lifting capacity for all your digging, lifting, and loading jobs. Even when working to the side, using hydraulic attachments, or lifting heavy objects, the U45 remains excellently stable, thanks to its innovative counter balancing technology, long tumbler distance, low center of gravity and Double Outer Flanged Lower Track Rollers. The U45's large bucket capacity, excellent reach and digging depth, ensure that every digging job is done with maximum efficiency and speed. |
| Operator's Comfort |
|
Controlled Climate Cab No matter what the weather outside, the U45's climate-controlled cab will keep you feeling fresh and comfortable, letting you work faster, better, and longer. If desired, filtered outside air can be introduced via the external air vent.

Suspension Seat The deluxe, high back seat is fully adjustable, ensuring optimum comfort for operators of all sizes. Even the custom wrist rests are adjustable to help reduce arm movement and increase operator comfort
Wider Foot Area |
|
User-friendly Operation New operating levers require less effort and shorter movements, ensuring improved control and operator comfort. Auxiliary hydraulics controls are mounted on the right operating lever for simple operation of attachments. A 2-speed travel switch on the dozer lever permits quicker, more convenient travel speed changes. Adjustable wrist rests help reduce operator fatigue for increased job efficiency. |

| Maintenance & Safety |
|
Maintenance A wide-opening rear engine cover provides fast and easy access to daily maintenance items.

Safe, Controlled Starts When the safety control lever is moved upward, the console moves with it, providing more room for entry and exit. To prevent unexpected machine movement during entry or exit, the pilot and travel controls are then disabled. This is the only time that the engine will crank over. |
Swivel Negative Brake The swivel negative brake automatically locks the upper structure in its current position when the engine is stopped or the safety control lever is raised. Hence, the swivel transport lock pin is no longer required. |
Straight Travel For safer loading and off-loading, the U45 incorporates a Hydraulic Matching System that keeps the U45 traveling in a straight line while operating the boom and attachments. |

Accumulator Replacing attachments is now safer and more efficient, thanks to the U45's accumulator. Turning the key to the "on" position clears residual pressure in the auxiliary hydraulic port, preventing oil from spewing out when replacing attachments. Should the engine accidentally shut off while the front attachment is raised, turning the key to the "on" position. The attachment can now be safely lowered. |
