Learn more about the capability the Kubota KX018-4 brings you!
Housed in Kubota’s outstanding reputation for durability, the Kubota KX018-4 promises to be with you for the long haul. Featuring steel panels, protected hoses, front pin bushings and utilizing a centralized swivel bearing lubrication, you’ll notice that your compact excavator is ready to take on the world. Kubota’s continues the quality craftsmanship in the fully-flat, operator’s station, complete with easy cab entry and exit. Ergonomically placed controls, such as the selectable pattern control switch and proportional auxiliary flow switch ensure you’ll work efficiently throughout the day; even the longest ones. How does the KX018-4 compare to the John Deere 17G? The 17G boasts the confidence that rubber tracks, bolstered by steel cores, a variable width undercarriage and six-inches of ground clearance bring you. Our take? With 6.3-inches of ground clearance, a variable width undercarriage and unobstructed visibility, as well as options for a closed or open cab, the Kubota KX018-4 can’t be beaten in the “mini” excavator segment.

If there’s one thing you want complete trust in, it’s your compact excavator’s performance. Luckily, the Kubota-built engine inside the KX018-4 brings you 16.1 horsepower, perfect for assisting you in taking the compact excavator to even greater heights. How much horsepower does the John Deere 17G have? The 17G packs a 14.5 horsepower punch with its Yanmar-built engine and while its 3,597 lb bucket breakout force sits just a mere three pounds above the KX018-4’s 3,594, it’s the KX018-4 lets you dig deeper, a whole seven inches deeper, than the 17G’s max digging depth. The blade angle in the KX018-4 can be adjusted to give you a 9.1-inch above ground and below ground range, making backfilling a breeze and keeping you moving with efficiency. Factor in the 5.6-gallon fuel tank in the KX018-4, as opposed to the 17G’s 5.3-gallon tank, and faster traveling speed, and you’ve got yourself a capable workhorse, ready to bring you better performance and better reliability than the competition.
