Kubota RT280 overview

Engine / Powertrain / Drivetrain

Kubota Original Engine

KUBOTA engine is known for its reliability and durability. It is strong and powerful with respect for the environment especially for noise and emissions.


Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)

The hydrostatic transmission is equipped with an high performance pump which guarantees an efficient transmission of the power to the wheels.


Multi-function Operating Lever and Steering Column

The user friendly designed multifunction lever allows to control all the main functions of your articulated wheel loader: shuttle switch, auxiliary circuit (according to the versions) and, of course the front attachment functions. The steering wheel is tiltable in order to offer the best driving position to the operator.


Transmission Control

The hydrostatic transmission is controlled by a pedal located on the right side of the steering column. A simple action of the right foot on the pedal acts simultaneously on the engine rpm and also on the hydrostatic pump. The operator can control the travel speed with full concentration on the front attachments being used.


Operator's cab

Dashboard

The dashboard provides the operator with easy to read gauges for both the fuel level and engine water temperature and with additional warning lights for engine oil pressure, water temperature and battery charge. Therefore, you can operate your wheel loader in full confidence.


Ventilation System

When the RT280 is equipped with a cabin, a ventilation system allows the operator to have a cool or heated cabin. Thanks to several outlets well dispatched throughout the cabin and several fan speeds, the air is well spread out around the operator, allowing the operator to work more efficiently.


Daily Maintenance

The main components which require daily check such as engine oil level, coolant level, air filter and radiator are easily accessible, thanks to the wide opening engine bonnet. In addition, the offset battery off terminals allow a quick starting assistance in the event of battery default.


Safety Features

The RT280 is available with a cabin or with a canopy. In both cases, the protective structures are certified ROPS ISO3471 and FOPS ISO3449. In order to ensure good operating comfort, the full suspension seat is fitted with two arm rests and a safety belt.


Bucket and Ground Engaging Tools

High lifting capacity

The RT280 offers a high lifting capacity for a machine of this size. It is the ideal machine for applications which require the transport of heavy loads.
