The Kubota U17-3α is a tracked mini-excavator weighing approximately 1,700 kg with a zero-rear-overhang system: the turret rotates 360° without extending beyond the track footprint, allowing the machine to operate right up against walls, fences, and obstacles without the risk of collision on the side opposite the excavation.

The variable-width track system ranges from 990 mm to 1,240 mm for maximum stability during excavation.

Key Operational Features

• Zero rear overhang. Work close to obstacles without the risk of collision on the opposite side—a direct advantage on urban job sites, roadwork projects, and in confined spaces.
• Expandable track. From 990 to 1,240 mm: narrow configuration for difficult access points, wide configuration for stability during excavation.
• Standard auxiliary system. Ready for a hammer, rotating bucket, and grapple without modifications to the system, with direct return on the third AUX line.

Who It’s For

The U17-3α is the ideal choice for those who regularly work in confined spaces: urban construction and renovation companies, utility installers, cable diggers, and contractors operating in hilly and mountainous areas where the machine’s size is often the determining factor.
