  • The Kubota U10-5 is an ultra-compact 1.2-tonne mini excavator designed for tight-access excavation, landscaping, trenching and property-maintenance work. Its zero-tail-swing design allows the machine to work efficiently in confined areas while remaining within the width of its tracks.

    With hydraulically adjustable tracks that narrow to just 750 mm and expand to 990 mm for additional stability, the U10-5 is ideal for narrow gateways, residential sites, backyards and restricted work areas. The foldable ROPS further improves access where height is limited.

    Powered by a reliable Kubota diesel engine and fitted with hydraulic pilot controls, the U10-5 delivers smooth operation and strong digging performance in a compact package. A plant trailer is included with the hire for approved customer collection, making transport simple and convenient.
