Fuel efficiency and power combine in the new KX040 excavator © Kubotalink

We just added a new Kubota KX040-4 mini-excavator into our rental fleet, which is great news for fans of the KX121 and other mid-sized Kubota excavators.  The KX040 is one of the next generation excavators from Kubota, which are more fuel-efficient and operator friendly than ever.

The KX040 is equipped with a 40 hp engine that’s Tier IV compliant and combines Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) muffler to reduce harmful emissions.  Kubota’s own ECO PLUS mode also prioritizes fuel economy to boost efficiency when activated.

Fuel-efficiency aside, this machine has great performance specs and features, like rubber tracks, a hydraulic-angling dozer blade, a max dig depth of 11 feet, 2 inches and a bucket breakout force of 9535 lbs.  It’s also got a roomy cab with air-conditioning!  It’s versatile, operator-friendly, powerful and fuel-efficient – basically the perfect rental excavator!
