KX040-5 Mini-Excavator

Keyless start is a standard feature for the KX040-5. It allows the engine to be started by entering a 4-digit passcode using the keypad on the excavator, with the option for up to ten user passcodes. This eliminates concerns about lost keys to start the excavator, providing added convenience for customers.

Save time and enhance efficiency with an optional Angle Blade. With a simple thumb-operated switch on the dozer lever, the blade can be angled left or right to push soil sideways as the machine advances, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles during trench backfilling. Kubota's hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade offers even more versatility, allowing for six positions: neutral, up-down, left-end-up, right-end-up, left-end-forward, and right-end-forward. This feature simplifies levelling and backfilling tasks, even on slopes and uneven ground.

When the excavator’s control levers remain in neutral for over four seconds, the Auto Idle system will intuitively lower the engine RPM. The engine will automatically ramp back up to normal RPM levels upon lever movement. For further energy conservation, the Engine Auto Stop will shut off your engine automatically after prolonged idling, with customizable time limits.
