We've upgraded the engine from 13HP to 17HP, so the U17 delivers more of the power and dependability your work requires. In addition to its superior horsepower and performance, it also offers low noise and vibration levels, exceptional fuel efficiency, and complies with the EPA's 2008 Tier IV emissions regulations.
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.
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.
The U25S offers a powerful breakout force: 5,765 lbs with the dedicated bucket and quick coupler. That's more than enough to keep the U25S working efficiently even under heavy loads on tough excavating jobs.
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.
