Posted by

When it comes to super maneuverability and enhanced performance for a variety of construction or landscaping tasks within an area with limited space, the versatile Kubota U17-3 mini excavator is the best in its class. This particular compact mini excavator does not only deliver power as needed but also gives you the control that is required to manage construction tasks efficiently. The smooth performance that it offers coupled with the high level of versatility of this piece of construction machine makes it perfect for a wide array of jobs, especially in confined spaces. The 17HP engine packed into this little monster delivers sufficient power to take on just about any small construction project task. The level of dependability that this machine offers is largely attributed to its bigger horsepower and as a bonus, the Kubota U17 mini excavator rental also offers low noise levels with suppressed vibration features and a level of fuel efficiency that is simply exceptional.  Fitted with a user-friendly digital dashboard panel that offers one-touch button operation to switch between the hour meter tachometer and time, everything about the U17 is centered on practicality. From the indicators which display codes that alert operators when things are not quite right such as overheated engines, issues with the hydraulic systems, or low battery to the easy access to internal components for maintenance, the Kubota U17 sets a new standard among mini excavators.

The exceptionally well-planned easy-to-read indicators and alerts is a testament to the amount of effort placed into the development of this particular mini excavator by the engineers at Kubota who obviously prioritized the needs of the operator. The issue of safety in relation to excavators at project sites more often than not is associated with the lack of technical indicators that warn the operators of failures that ultimately lead to undesired situations.

  Another unique feature of the Kubota U17 excavator is the “3 pump system” that is independent of each other that serves the boom, arm, and swivel that enhancing the functional aspects of the bucket, boom, and swivel much smoother and more efficient. Added to that, the high capacity controller valves coupled with the hydraulic variable pumps give this mini excavator ‘super shoveling abilities’ apart from its loading performance based on the fact that this excavator is considered to be quite powerful in relation to its size. Similar to the Kubota Ultra-Compact Excavator K008-3, U17 also features a hydraulic-dependent track gauge that allows it to be adjusted with a single touch that reduces the track width to between 990mm to 1,240mm when operators are required to navigate narrow paths or expand its width that enhances its stability which improves the excavator’s level of functionality significantly.

The Kubota is perfect for excavator rental as it is suitable for a variety of projects ranging from building homes and demolishing structures to landscaping. The versatility of the Kubota U17 makes it one of the most practical pieces of equipment that could possibly be assigned to projects. For construction companies, it would be much more cost-effective to get these excavators for rent than to buy and own one.
