"Should I Buy a Kubota KX057-4 or a Takeuchi TB260 Excavator?"

Searching for a compact excavator for sale in Springdale, Arkansas? Hearing good things about the Takeuchi TB260, but still think that the Kubota KX057-4 is the right excavator for you? Here at Springdale Tractor Company, we are big fans of the reliable and affordable Kubota KX057-4 ! Let’s take a look at some features that set the KX057-4 apart from the competition.

A Closer Look at Design

So, you’re in the market for a six-ton excavator. You’re in the right place, considering the Kubota KX057-4 grants you everything you’re searching for in a compact excavator. The KX057-4 is built tough… really tough. Kubota steel makes up the excavator’s exterior, supporting its centralized swivel bearing lubrication, front pin bushings, and protected cylinder hoses. You’ll find that the KX057-4 is nimble on its feet and doesn’t feel bulky when operating. Inside the open or closed cab, Kubota provides a spacious, ergonomic and modernized operator’s station. You can even switch between ISO and SAE operating patterns without having to leave your seat!

So, how does the KX057-4 compete with the durability of the Takeuchi TB260? The TB260 features a rounded body for increased visibility and comparable heavy-duty construction. However, it doesn’t provide you with anything you haven’t seen before. In the end, it’s Kubota’s reputation for durability and comfort that lets you know you’re getting a superior machine. Climb on in and experience the Kubota difference! 

Which Model is Stronger?

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. You’ll also come to appreciate the relationship between your Kubota dealer and the readily available parts and service on your equipment. It truly does make a difference, and you’ll start seeing the results you’ve been searching high and low for with the Kubota KX057-4!
