Kubota U55-4 overview

Kubota U55-4 features overview

E. Air Conditioning
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.
Enhanced Digging Force
The U55-4 delivers an impressive bucket digging force of 11,177 lbs. Its powerful and well-balanced arm and bucket allow the operator to dig out faster and more efficiently, even in the toughest conditions.

Engine / Driveline and transmission

D. 2-speed Travel Switch
By setting the 2-speed travel switch on the dozer lever, dozing operations can be done faster and easier.
Variable Speed Fan
The new variable speed cooling fan meets the fan power requirements for engine cooling, resulting in higher fuel efficiency.
Increased Travel Speed
With increased maximum high and low travel speeds of 3.1 mph respectively 1.8 mph, the U55-4 really brings productivity to new heights.
Increased Traction Force
Traction, when operated at low speed, has been increased to 14,480 lbs. This helps ensure an efficient and productive day on the job.
Auto Down-shift
The automatic downshift 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.

Standard Mode Standard Mode, Hour Meter, Hourometer, Coolant Temperature, Coolant Temperature, Clock, Fuel Level, Fuel Level, Engine Speed, Engine RPM Service Mode Operating Method Warning Operation History Record Max. Oil Flow Adjustment (AUX1 and AUX2)
Operation History Record
The operating history is automatically recorded on the U55-4. You can trace up to 90 days after machine usage data by simply checking the built-in calendar.

Hydraulics

Adjustable Maximum Oil Flow Control For Auxiliary Circuits 1 & 2
The maximum oil flow settings of both circuits are conveniently adjustable from the digital panel no additional tools or elaborate manual adjustment procedures required. You can even program up to five oil flow rates according to specific attachments on the digital panel into memory.
Thumb Bracket And Relief Valves
The hydraulic thumb makes short work out of a variety of loading and material handling jobs. Factory-installed brackets and hydraulics significantly reduce the time needed to mount accessories.
Load Sensing Hydraulic System
Kubota's improved 3-pump load sensing hydraulic system ensures smoother operation, regardless of the load size. It allows flow of the hydraulic oil according to the specific area of lever movement of the operator.

Tyres / Tracks

Easy-open Front Slide Window
Unlike many excavator windows, the front glass window of the U55-4 opens with ease. Simply turn around and slide up the latches on the window sides. A gas assist mechanism makes this action almost effortless.

Other features

A. Deluxe Suspension Seat
Designed and designed to fit better and keep you working comfortably for longer, the high-back Kubota 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 belts.
Steel Panels
The U55-4 features durable side panels that open easily for quick inspection and routine maintenance. Claddings are located within the counterweight edge for protection and durability.
Grease Gun Holder
A convenient space within the side hood is designed to allow grease gun for daily service.

Safety

Automatic regeneration system
Kubota's original automatic regeneration system automatically burns accumulated particles (soot) in the DPF damper to keep the muffler clean for longer operation. For safety reasons, auto regeneration can be switched off with the inhibit switch when the excavator is working in areas close to the material and having an ignition potential.
Parking Brake
A travel slope brake comes as a standard safety feature on the U55-4 for added peace of mind when transporting or parking in hilly areas.
