Kubota KX042-4 GLS2 overview

Engine / Driveline and transmission

Kubota engine with Common Rail System and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler
The Common Rail System (CRS) electronically controls the fuel injection timing and amount in steps rather than all at once for optimal combustion. The results are great efficiency, better fuel efficiency and less engine noise. Its combination with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler also realizes the most environmentally-friendly excavator of the class called Common Rail System (CRS).
Auto idling system
Save fuel with Kubota's Auto-idle. When the control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, the engine RPM is automatically idled. Move each control lever and the engine RPM returns instantly. This innovative feature reduces noise and exhaust emissions while reducing operating costs.
Auto-shift
The Auto-Shift system enables automatic travel shift from high to low depending on traction force and terrain. This results in smoother simultaneous operations when dozing and turning.

Hydraulics

AUX oil flow with proportional flow control
Thumb-controlled switches provide quick and easy proportional flow control for AUX1 and AUX2.
Standard Equipment Engine/Fuel system Undercarriage Hydraulic system
KUBOTA Genuine Engine, Double Element Air Cleaner, Battery Isolator, Automatic Fuel Detector System, Auto idle system, Water separator with drain cock, 350 mm rubber track, Short tilted rubber crawler slide, 2-speed travel, automatic shifting, 4 x double -flange track rollers on each track, 1 x upper track roller, 1 x variable displacement pump, 1-pump Load Sensing System, pressure accumulator, hydraulic pressure test ports, straight travel circuit, auxiliary hydraulic line at the arm end, 1st auxiliary circuit (AUX1) switch on right control lever for proportional control, Adjustable maximum oil flow at AUX1 via digital panel
Optional Equipment Undercarriage Hydraulic system Safety system Others
350 mm steel track (+45kg), AUX2 switch on left control lever for proportional control, with adjustable maximum oil flow at the AUX2 circuits via digital panel, safety valve for boom, arm and dozer, air conditioner, bio oil, special paint, beacon light, cover hook to counterweight.

Tyres / Tracks

Float position
You don't have to adjust the dozer height to make a clean floor area after refilling, but simply travel backwards along the covered digging with the dozer in float position. The float function is standard even on the straight blade and makes earthmoving fast and easy!
Two-piece hose design
The two-piece hose connections for the dozer cylinder simplify hose replacement and reduce downtime.
Others
12 V Power source, Emergency exit hammer, Tool storage space, Linkage points on track frame front.

Other features

1. Deluxe suspension seat
Designed and designed to fit better and keep you working comfortably for longer, Kubota's high-height suspension seat reduces stress and minimises operator fatigue. It licks back to accommodate your individual posture; it offers weight compensation, fixed and adjustable wrist support as well as retractable seat belt.
Air conditioning (OPT)
All air circulation in the cab has been improved, thanks to a stronger cooling/heating unit and the positioning of six vents around the operator for better all-round comfort.
2. New spacious cab / Wider entrance
Designed for greater comfort, the new large cab with a fully flat floor provides more legroom to minimize fatigue. The larger cabin on the KX042-4 offers a much wider door and ample foot space so that getting in and out of the excavator becomes a breeze.
Fully flat floor with foot rest
For added comfort, the cab floor is completely flat for greater legroom and a more spacious feel.
