Kubota KX080-4 vs John Deere 85G Compact Excavator

In the market for a compact excavator in Springdale, Arkansas? Struggling to make up your mind between the reliability of the Kubota KX080-4 and the John Deere 85G? Here at Springdale Tractor Company, we know a thing or two about construction. Trust us, when you’re undertaking large projects, you can’t beat the confidence that the Kubota KX080-4 provides you. Let’s take a look at some of the Kubota excavator’s features!

The Kubota KX080-4 Compact Excavator Dominates the Competition! 

When you’re looking to stay under a 20,000 pound operating weight, look no further than the Kubota KX080-4 and the John Deere 85G. These two barely make the cut, but both excavators find themselves nimble on their feet. Inside the Kubota KX080-4 you’ll find a wide and roomy operator’s station, alongside a deluxe suspension seat and standard A/C. However, the KX080-4 sees its greatest success in its exterior durability. You’ll grow to appreciate the underbody cover, two-way protected hosing, centralized swivel bearing lubrication, front pin bushings and heavy welds that hold the compact excavator together and promise to do so for years to come.

Sounds nice, right? But how does it compare to the John Deere 85G? The John Deere 85G offers heavy-duty construction as well, promising a comparable degree of confidence when you’re behind the controls. However, the 85G’s commitment to comfort falls incredibly short of the KX080-4’s mark. The KX080-4 even offers better ground clearance and a tighter tail swing radius, letting you work with efficiency and outmaneuver any obstacles in your way. Kubota’s reputation for quality and durability is renowned far and wide, and the KX080-4 is no exception!

Who Delivers More Power?

Current excavator not cutting it? Trying to take on tougher jobs, but you know you can’t keep up with their demands? Well, lucky for you, the Kubota KX080-4 promises nothing but excellence. Just how much horsepower does the KX080-4 have? It pumps out a whopping 66.4 horsepower, courtesy of its Kubota-built, Tier 4 engine. All this power amounts to a bucket breakout force of 14,660 pounds! And with the KX080-4’s 14,878 pound traction force, you’ll work with heavier loads and never stress your excavator’s capability. Curious how the KX080-4’s horsepower compares to how much horsepower the John Deere 85G has? The 85G falls short of the Kubota, putting up 56.9 horsepower with its Yanmar-built engine.

Who Offers More Versatility?

The Deere excavator also misses Kubota’s mark when you take its 10,476 pound bucket force into consideration. Sure, the 85G has a larger fuel tank and it boasts three operating modes (Economy, Power and High Power). However, it’s the Kubota KX080-4 that lets you truly go above and beyond. The KX080-4 offers a gpm hydraulic flow of 55.6, nearly 20 gpm higher than the John Deere 85G’s 38 gpm. The real kicker? The John Deere 85G puts up a maximum digging depth of 14’ 10” and a dumping height of 16’ 8”, both impressive numbers, but the Kubota KX080-4’s 15’ 1” digging depth and 17’ 2” maximum dumping height showcase just how capable the compact excavator truly is. It also features a wide range of performance matched attachments and an optional hydraulic angle blade to assist you in making use of your excavator’s full range of motion. Experience the Kubota difference and start seeing the results you’ve been searching for with the KX080-4!
