FEATURES Clean-running Kubota Engine We’ve upgraded the engine from 13HP to 16.1HP, so the U17 delivers more of the power and dependability your work requires. In addition to its superior horse-power and performance, it also offers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency, and complies with Tier IV emissions regulations.
Digital Panel Informative, interactive and functional, Kubota’s Intelligent Control System LCD panel accurately displays timely diagnostic readings and routine maintenance alerts. You’ll be kept informed of your current working conditions, engine RPM, temperature and oil levels. It even emits an alert when the tank is nearly full during refueling. These features help reduce downtime and costly repair fees.
Double-flanged Track Roller & Short-pitched Rubber Crawler
Like many higher-end excavators, the U17 features double-flanged track rollers and short-pitched rubber crawlers for improved undercarriage durability. The double-flanged track rollers help improve travel stability and performance, and the short-pitched rubber crawlers help minimize vibration during travel for improved operator comfort. With the U17, a day on the job always goes smoothly.
Variable Track Width
The U17 features a hydraulic track gauge that can be adjusted to between 3'3" and 4'1" (990 mm and 1,240 mm). With the touch of a single lever, you can reduce the track gauge to navigate narrow spaces or increase it to improve functionality.
Zero-tail Swing Zero-tail swing means you’ll never again worry about what is to the side or behind you while you work. No matter how far you turn, the tail always remains within the width of the tracks. Zero-tail swing also ensures excellent balance, stability and faster operation, making the U17 ideal for jobs in congested urban areas.

FEATURES Improved Pump Capacity We've increased the hydraulic pump capacity to 11.9 GPM (45 l/min), giving you the boost of versatility you need to take on a wide variety of jobs.
Extended Dozer Arm Kubota has extended the dozer arm to optimize the clearance between the dozer and the bucket—this makes collecting soil and rocks close to the machine simple and more efficient. And, the extended length of the dozer arm also helps prevent soil or rocks from getting caught between the dozer and the crawler.
Strong Bucket Breakout Force The U17 has the power you need for heavy loads and tough excavating jobs, a breakout force of 3,417.2 lbs, with the dedicated bucket and quick coupler.
Swing Bracket Pin Bushings For increased durability and longer life, Kubota has included bushings throughout the U17’s pivot points on the swing bracket.
Strong Lifting Capacity Excellent lifting capacity for digging, lifting, and loading is provided by a powerful and responsive front working group. Even when working to the side, using hydraulic attachments, or lifting heavy objects, the U17 has excellent stability, thanks to its innovative counter balancing technology, long tumbler distance, low center of gravity and smooth operation.

FEATURES Auxiliary Hydraulic System The U17’s auxiliary hydraulic system accommodates a variety of attachments, such as breakers and augers. Standard equipment includes port pipes on the arm, bi-directional auxiliary hydraulic controls, and a control valve. The auxiliary hydraulic connections are located within easy reach and incorporate short hoses that are less likely to become tangled or damaged.
Protected Motor Hoses For added protection, Kubota has enclosed the travel motor hoses within the track frame, resulting in reduced repair costs and increased durability.
Hydraulics Maintenance The under-deck hydraulics can be accessed quickly and easily for routine maintenance. There are no bolts to unscrew—just lift the rubber mat and open the floor plate.
General Maintenance Wide-opening covers provide easy access to the engine oil gauge, coolant reserve tank and dual element air cleaner. It’s also easy to access the fuel filter and water separator, battery, radiator and oil cooler. Two-piece hose connections for the dozer and boom cylinders simplify hose replacement, reduce downtime, and virtually eliminate the need to enter the machine for maintenance.

Zero-tail Swing Tough job got you in a corner? Put a U25S to work on it. Zero-tail swing keeps the tail within the width of the tracks, so you can turn the house throughout its 360-degree turning radius without worrying about what is to the side or behind you. Zero-tail swing also ensures excellent balance, stability and fast operation, making the U25S ideal for jobs in congested urban areas.
Digital Panel
Maintenance alerts
Low fuel display
Kubota’s Intelligent Control System can help reduce downtime and repair fees by providing timely diagnostic readings and routine maintenance alerts. The large digital panel displays current working conditions, warning indicators, engine rpm and hour meter, fuel, temperature and oil levels. The panel not only lets you know when fuel is running low, but alerts you during refueling when the tank is nearly full.
Fuel Overflow Prevention The U25S’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.
Thumb Bracket The optional hydraulic thumb allows you to handle a variety of loading and digging jobs without stopping to change implements. It works with the bucket to pinch materials for loading and carrying. When no longer needed, it retracts to permit normal excavation. The U25S’s factory-installed thumb bracket and relief valve significantly reduce the time needed to mount the hydraulic thumb.

FEATURES Hydraulic Angle Blade (Optional) Save time and work more efficiently. With a simple movement of the dozer lever, the hydraulic angle blade can be angled to the right or left to push soil to the side as the machine moves forward, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches.
AUX1 Diverter Valve The diverter valve allows auxiliary oil to be diverted to the operation of auxiliary attachments without removal of the thumb attachment pipeline for increased efficiency on the go.
Tight Spots The angle blade lets you work efficiently in confined spaces, alongside walls, and near busy roads. No wider than the tracks, it’s also easy to transport between jobs.
Easy Operation Angle blade operation has been enhanced for easier control. Up, down and float movements are made with a single lever, while left and right angle positioning is made by the rocker switch on top of the lever.
Float Position The float function is a standard feature on the U35-4*. Ground finishing work can be completed quickly and simply without the need to adjust the dozer height. After backfilling, simply travel backwards along the covered ditch with the dozer in the float position. *Standard on both angle blade & standard blade models.

FEATURES Kubota Original Direct Injection Engine The U35-4 is powered by to Kubota’s impressive 24.8HP direct injection engine, complies with Tier Ⅳ emission regulation. Engineered with the power to maximize digging and lifting performance, it also delivers minimized noise, vibration and fuel consumption.
Proportional Flow Control of Auxiliary Circuit (AUX1) and Maximum Oil Flow Setting Now you can conveniently program up to five different oil flow rates for specific attachments on the new digital control panel. No tools or manual adjustment is required. And, with a maximum AUX 1 circuit oil flow now up to 15.8 GPM (60 liters) you can operate a larger variety of auxiliary attachments than ever before.
Auto-shift The U35-4 auto-shift automatically shifts travel speed from high to low, depending on traction and terrain, allowing smoother operation when dozing and turning.
Third-line Hydraulic Return A standard third-line hydraulic return system allows oil return directly to the tank without running through the control valves during operation of one-way hydraulic attachments. This decreases the likelihood of oil contamination, and results in less back pressure and greater oil flow efficiency.
Auto Idling System When U35-4 control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, engine RPM automatically idles. Move any control lever, and engine RPM immediately returns. This innovative feature not only lowers noise and exhaust emissions, but also reduces operating cost and fuel consumption.
