Compact Excavator: Extendable Dipping Arm

The KX003-4 compact excavator is a 3-ton-class machine with a digging depth of 12 ft, 2 in. and a digging reach of 18 ft, 3 in. An optional dipping arm can add 31-in. of extra reach when needed, allowing the excavator to perform work that normally requires a larger-class machine. The auto-idle function is a standard feature to reduce fuel consumption, and the machine will automatically downshift as needed for greater traction on uneven terrain. The enclosed cam features large front-glass windows for better visibility, and an easy-to-read digital display. Kubota Tractor; www.kubotausa.com
