Climb on in and experience the Kubota difference!
Kubota continues to engineer machinery for the future and the Kubota KX057-4 highlights the manufacturer’s innovation in the construction industry. New to the KX Series is Eco-Mode, an operating mode designed to help the KX057-4 consume less fuel and remain more environmentally conscious. Good looking out, Kubota. So how much horsepower does the KX057-4 have? The KX057-4 sports a 47.6 horsepower, Kubota-built engine, granting the compact excavator plenty of power to tackle even the biggest jobs. Standard two-speed travel and a traction force of 14,480 pounds keep the KX057-4 grounded and ensure the best in efficiency and precision, whether you’re working in residential or commercial settings.
Curious how the Takeuchi TB260’s horsepower compares to the Kubota KX057-4? Funnily enough, the TB260 provides you with the same exact horsepower rating of 47.6, but this time with a Yanmar-built engine. You’ll enjoy a traction rating of 15,040 pounds in the TB260 and a slight increase in ground clearance, as well as a deeper fuel reservoir. Our take? Kubota builds their equipment from the ground-up, which we’ve seen continue to dominate the industry and allows us to place our full-faith in the orange KX Series.
There’s a slight increase in the Takeuchi TB260’s maximum dig depth (12’ 9.4”) and dumping height (13’ 10.1”) than the Kubota KX057-4’s 12’ 8.2” dig depth and 13’ 8.6” dump height, but when it comes down to it, the KX057-4’s performance makes up for the two-inch disparity.
