New Kubota U17-3a VHG F1 Mini Excavator
Unmatched Compact Versatility & Zero Tail Swing. The
Kubota 1.7-tonne mini excavator is the ultimate choice for tough jobs in
ultra-confined spaces. Featuring a hydraulic **Variable Track Gauge (VHG)**,
the undercarriage retracts down to just 990mm to clear narrow garden gates or
doorways, and expands out to 1,240mm for absolute stability when digging.
Boasting a true zero tail swing design, the chassis rotates smoothly within the
width of its tracks, eliminating rear impact risks against walls or fences.
Equipped with single-line auxiliary hydraulics to run breakers and attachments
efficiently, alongside a robust canopy frame (F1/ROPS), this plant staple
delivers heavy-duty excavation performance with nimble, precise
control.
Ultra-Compact Design
- Variable Track Gauge: Hydraulically scales from 990mm to
1,240mm in seconds.
- Zero Tail Swing: Rear counterweight stays within track
footprint for tight spaces.
- Folding Dozer Blade: Quick-fold extension pins allow easy
track-width matching.
- Protected Hoses: Boom and bucket hydraulic cylinders are
routed safely to avoid site damage.
