Thumb Option for Effortless Grabbing

Thumb Option for Effortless Grabbing

Excavators rely heavily on the quality of their attached tools. Kubota provides a thumb option for the U17-5, transforming it into a multipurpose tool. This thumb enables effortless object grabbing and ensures your load stays securely in the bucket. Additionally, the thumb bracket comes standard from the factory, equipped with a relief valve to safeguard the cylinder.

Work Smart With Auto Idle

Work Smart With Auto Idle

After the control levers remain in neutral for over 4 seconds, engine RPM automatically idles, swiftly returning to normal upon lever movement. This innovative function reduces noise, exhaust emissions and cuts operating costs and fuel consumption. It can be easily activated or deactivated as needed.
