Looking for a compact excavator for sale near Springdale, Arkansas? Had your eye on a Kubota U55-4 and a CAT 305E2 CR, but you can't choose between the two? We’d love to set the record straight and showcase just how capable the Kubota U55-4 is! At Springdale Tractor Company in Springdale, Arkansas, this model is a favorite among our customers. Let’s jump in!
The Versatile Kubota U55-4 Stands Out in a Big Way!
Optimized for commercial, residential and urban settings, the Kubota U55-4 lets you work in both narrow spaces and open fields. The U55-4’s centralized swivel bear lubrication, promising to match your demands over the years. Its protected cylinder hoses, front pin bushings, and steel paneling give you the armor you need to tackle tough jobs. Meanwhile, a luxurious cab showcases Kubota’s commitment to outstanding operator comfort. You’ll avoid back fatigue all day long thanks to the deluxe suspension seat and ergonomically placed controls. You can even switch between ISO and SAE operating patterns without having to leave the U55-4’s seat!
So, just how durable is the CAT 305E2 CR? The CAT 305E2 CR boasts a durable hood and frame, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. You’ll get the most for your money with the durability and comfort provided by the rugged Kubota U55-4 Compact Excavator!
Comparing the Numbers: Horsepower, Digging Depth, & More
Trying to stay around the five-ton compact excavator operating weight? You can’t beat the range that the Kubota U55-4 provides you with! Asking yourself, how much horsepower does the U55-4 have? It boasts a 47.6 horsepower rating thanks to its Kubota-built, Tier 4 engine. This model gives you high torque output to make sure no stone gets left unturned! You’ll easily maneuver the U55-4’s power with standard two-speed travel, and the 14,480-pound traction force keeps you firmly planted.
Sounds nice, right? We think so too, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t dive into the CAT 305E2 CR's horsepower! The 305E2 CR puts up a hearty 40.2 horsepower and a 10,161 pound traction force, falling shy of Kubota’s mark with the U55-4. A hydraulic flow of 21.1 gpm in the 305E2 CR nudges past the U55-4’s 19.8 hydraulic gpm, but it isn’t much of a victory. You’ll find a better bucket digging force and fuel reservoir in the U55-4, letting you work harder and longer throughout the day. The U55-4 also topples the CAT 305E2 CR’s dumping height and dig depth, putting up an impressive 13’ 1.3” dumping height and 11’ 10.3” digging depth compared to the 305E2 CR’s 10’ 9” digging depth and dumping height. Outperform, outlast and outclass the competition with the versatile performance of the Kubota U55-4!
