Kubota Original DI Engine with CRS and DPF Muffler

The new Kubota's direct-injection engine is equipped with CRS and with
a new and improved DPF which reduces maintenance by increasing the
service intervals for both the regeneration filter and ash cleaner.

Automatic Regeneration

DPF regeneration (PM combustion
stroke) is performed automatically,
before soot reaches a critical level,
so the operator never needs to
stop work to clean the DPF.

The LED work lights can be programed to turn off 30 seconds to 2
minutes after the engine has stopped. This allows the operator to exit

can be set. With this new function, customers
do not have to worry about lost keys anymore. Rear-view Camera (option)
Factory designed rear-view camera provides a fish-eye
view to the rear of the compact excavator by displaying
the view on the 7” LCD screen in the cab.

Travel Alarm (option)

An optional travel alarm alerts nearby
workers that the compact excavator is

One-sided Engine Maintenance

Kubota has made routine maintenance extremely simple by consolidating
primary engine components onto one side for easier access. Engine and
other vital components can be inspected quickly and easily.

Side-hood Features
The radiator, oil cooler and A/C condensor are conveniently positioned inside the side-hood
bonnet.The new layout and A/C condensor tilt open structure provides an easier and more
efficient way to clean and maintain the cooling system. With this, you can keep your machine
performing in the best condition and protect the excavator from overheating.
