The Kubota U27-4 is a mini excavator, designed for those who need above-average performance in this category without sacrificing compactness. The zero-tail-swing design allows the upper structure to rotate while remaining within the machine’s footprint, eliminating the risk of collision with side obstacles when working in tight spaces.

The cab is among the roomiest in its class, offering good forward and rear visibility and lower, wider access than the average competitor model—a detail that enhances comfort during long workdays.

Key Operational Features

• Zero-tail swing: The machine can work close to walls, fences, and existing infrastructure without the risk of the rear striking these structures when the turret rotates.
• Digging depth of 2.82 m and maximum reach of 4.74 m: operating dimensions suitable for foundation excavation, utility line installation, and medium-sized projects.
• Minimum width of 1,500 mm: high stability even in a narrow configuration, useful for accessing job sites with limited passageways.
• Dual variable-displacement pumps: allow simultaneous operation of the boom, bucket, and rotation, enabling continuous digging cycles without loss of power.

Who’s for

Construction and infrastructure sites in areas with restricted access, excavation and utility installation work, projects near buildings or boundary walls, and urban construction sites where stability and a lack of rear overhang are essential requirements. Also suitable for companies that need a mid-size machine to complement smaller or larger excavators in their fleet.
