Features

Exterior Versatility
Built on a robust Kubota chassis, the KX040-4 features 14-inch rubber tracks for low ground disturbance and a 4.5 psi ground pressure, ensuring stability on soft surfaces. Its zero-tail swing design allows operation in tight spaces, with a max digging radius of 17 ft 9 in and vertical wall depth of 7 ft 5 in. Equipped with a general-purpose bucket, hydraulic quick coupler, and auxiliary hydraulics (17.6 gpm, 3,045 psi), it supports attachments like breakers or augers. A hydraulic thumb enhances material handling, and the backfill blade (5 ft 11 in wide) simplifies grading. Halogen work lights and an adjustable track gauge (4 ft 11 in to 5 ft 11 in) add flexibility, while the bucket breakout force of 9,535 lbs tackles tough soils.

Interior Comfort
The enclosed ROPS cab features air conditioning, heating, and an AM/FM radio with a cupholder for a comfortable workspace. Dual operator controls (pilot joysticks) ensure precise digging, with auto-shift for smooth transitions. The suspension seat with adjustable armrests reduces fatigue, and the digital display provides real-time data on engine and hydraulics. Large windows and a sliding front window enhance visibility, while ergonomic controls and a low 76 dB noise level support long shifts.

Mechanical Excellence
Powered by a 40.4-horsepower Kubota D1803-CR-TE4 turbo diesel engine with a 1.8L displacement, the KX040-4 delivers 84 ft-lbs of torque for robust performance. The hydrostatic transmission with two-speed travel (1.8 mph low, 3.1 mph high) ensures efficient navigation. The Tier 4 Final engine uses a DOC/DPF system, requiring minimal maintenance. Auto-idle and load-sensing hydraulics optimize fuel efficiency, and the stick breakout force of 4,112 lbs ensures precise digging. Daily service points, accessible via a tilt-up hood, simplify checks for engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant. The 16.9-gallon fuel tank and heavy-duty battery support extended operation.
