The Kubota U55 open-station excavator delivers the power and control crews count on. With a 47.6 horsepower engine and up to 10,172 lb of bucket breakout strength, it digs, pries, and loads with confidence in tough soils. Smooth, responsive hydraulics support precise trenching, faster cycle times, and dependable performance with common attachments like hydraulic thumbs, breakers, and compactors.
The open-station configuration keeps costs down and productivity up: fewer cab components to service, faster daily checks, and no HVAC-related downtime—ideal for short rentals and quick jobsite turnarounds. Rubber tracks help limit surface disturbance on lawns and finished areas, while a dozer blade speeds trench backfill and adds stability. For utilities, drainage, footers, and site prep, the U55 open station is a smart, cost-effective choice without sacrificing performance.
