The wider and lower entrance also makes the cab of this new zero-tail swing mini easier to enter and exit, the manufacturer says.
Neil Winfield, Kubota Construction’s business development manager, said: “The U27-4 has been introduced following extensive research and development with operators across both the UK and worldwide. This, combined with Kubota’s manufacturing expertise, has resulted in an excavator being designed to meet and exceed the needs of the market.
“The feedback we received in the 2.5 tonne class highlighted that users wanted more space in the cabin and increased comfort levels, whilst not compromising on performance levels.
“The new Kubota U27-4 machine has been manufactured to exceed these requirements. It features a newly designed spacious cabin and a deluxe interior, including a relaxing suspension seat that reclines to accommodate an operator’s posture and offers weight compensation. This helps to reduce strain, minimise fatigue and increase operator productivity, particularly over extended periods of use.
“In addition, Kubota’s intelligent digital panel with diagnosis function is located towards the front side of the operator for better visibility and accessibility.”
