Thanks to standard amenities such as a fully flat floor, ergonomic placement of controls, in-cab pattern selector and spacious operator’s station, the Kubota K008-3 brings you the most comfortable experience in a compact excavator. The orange, compact excavator even offers an available cab for year-round comfort. Backed by Kubota’s outstanding reputation for durability, the K008-3 allows for adjustable track frame width and blade width with the variable width undercarriage, allowing you to easily maneuver through narrow spaces such as gates and doorways. So how does it compare to the Bobcat E-10 Compact Excavator? The E-10 features a zero tail swing, 28-inch retracted track width, when you adjust the blade and undercarriage, and foldable TOPS (Tip Over Protective Structure). Storage is simplified with the Kubota K008-3’s 7’ 4” height and the Bobcat sits just a couple inches shorter at 7’ 2.5”. While both excavators are designed to give you plenty of durability, it’s the reliability and attention to craftsmanship that the Kubota K008-3 brings that truly sets it apart from its competition.  

 

When you’re looking for performance in a compact, well more of a mini, excavator, you can’t do better than the Kubota K008-3. Standard two-speed travel allows the K008-3 to travel at 1.2 and 2.5 mph, while the Bobcat E-10 travels at 1.3 and 1.7 mph. Both compact excavators feature the same Kubota engine, providing the K008-3 with 10.3 horsepower and lagging just slightly behind is the E-10 with 10.2 horsepower. Wondering what the dig depth of the Kubota K008-3 is? The orange, compact excavator features a 5’ 8” dig depth and maximum 6’ 8” dumping height, alongside a 2,200 lb bucket breakout force. How does it match up with the Bobcat E-10? The E-10 sports a 6’ dig and dump height, falling shy of the maximum dumping height provided by the K008-3, and brings a 1,865 lb bucket digging force. There’s no denying that both compact excavators are powerful pieces of machinery, but it's the Kubota K008-3 that rises to the challenge and never fails to meet your demands.
