Features

Large comfortable Cab to suit all operators

Large comfortable Cab to suit all operators

Not all operators are the same size. That’s why the interior of the Kubota U48-5 is generously-sized, with an adjustable seat and available air ride seat and sunshade. Plus, there’s more headroom and floor space along with a slim, ergonomically positioned right meter panel. Low Noise* World-class noise reduction technology helps protect the operator’s hearing as well as provides a more comfortable working environment for the operator. Rear engine noise is reduced by a metal partition between the engine and the cab. The floor plate is also thicker to reduce noise from beneath the cab. The U48-5 Cab noise level is 74 dBa at the ear.
