Kubota KX61-3 GL features overview
Wrist rest
With this new feature to assist with smooth operation and produce less operator fatigue, wrist rests are fitted as standard. Easy adjustments can be made easily, in addition the operation is smoother and low-fatigue. -
Engine / Driveline and transmission
Variable displacement pump
For efficient operation, both the oil flow and pressure from the variable displacement pumps are adapted to the workload. By using variable pumps a more efficient engine is selected which results in fuel efficiency, low vibration and noise levels.
Low noise level
When designing the KX61-3, we have continued to focus on being environmentally and user-friendly. Thus, the noise level of the KX61-3 in the cab is an amazingly low 77 db.
Kubota V1505-EBH engine
The powerful and reliable Kubota V1505-EBH engine ensures economical and environmentally friendly performance. The engine is so fuel efficient, a full tank gives 10 hours of continuous work.
Kubota Intelligent Control System
An innovative upgrade that keeps you always in tune with the vital signs of the KX61-3. Kubota Intelligent Communication Control System is equipped with warning indicators for engine, fuel, temperature and oil; a service mode allowing accurate troubleshooting; as well as standard indicators displaying current working conditions such as engine rpm, hour meter & more. -
Hydraulics
Digging arm and bucket
Equipped with the longest arm, the KX61-3 delivers the largest digging depth and reach of all 2.5-ton class. Even during the long arm specification it still generates the greatest power in its class for both the arm and bucket trenching.
Boom swing / Auxiliary operation
For easier operation, the boom swing pedal and auxiliary hydraulic operations are controlled by independent pedals, with one pedal located on the right side of the floor and the other on the left side.
