Kubota U17-3 Excavator

The compact machine for tight access. The U17-3 fits through standard gates and gets in where bigger excavators can't — without giving up too much grunt.

Best for:

• Backyard and residential trenching
• Landscaping in tight access blocks
• Pool digs in established properties
• Drainage and small services work
• Tight-access civil and plumbing jobs

Key specs:

• Operating weight: 1,650 kg
• Engine: Kubota D902 diesel
• Track width: 230mm
• Variable track gauge: 990mm (narrow) to 1,240mm (extended)
• Max dig depth: 2.31m
• Max horizontal reach: 3.9m
• Zero tail swing
• Tear-out force: 15.2 kN

Why hire this one:

Zero tail swing means you can work hard up against a wall or fence without worrying about the back end. Retractable tracks let it through a 990mm gate, then expand for stability once you're working.
