Kubota U36-4 Mini Excavator – Overview
Compact Strength, Precision Control, and Superior Comfort
The Kubota U36-4 Mini Excavator combines exceptional digging power, precise control, and all-day operator comfort in a zero-tail swing design built for efficiency and reliability. Ideal for construction, utilities, landscaping, and groundworks, this 3.7-tonne excavator is engineered for professionals who demand strength, stability, and smooth operation in confined or open environments alike.
At its heart lies the Kubota D1803-CR-E5 Stage V diesel engine, producing 24.8 PS (18.5 kW) of clean, fuel-efficient power. This advanced, 3-cylinder common-rail engine delivers high torque and performance while keeping emissions, noise, and fuel use to a minimum — perfectly balancing power and economy.
The U36-4 achieves a maximum digging depth of 3,400 mm, a dumping height of 3,845 mm, and an impressive lifting capacity of up to 1,350 kg at ground level (over front, blade down). Its zero-tail swing design enables safe operation alongside walls or obstacles without sacrificing reach or stability. The variable track width, adjustable from 1,550 mm to 1,960 mm, provides maximum stability when extended and compact manoeuvrability in restricted access areas.
Kubota’s advanced load-sensing hydraulic system allows smooth, simultaneous control of the boom, arm, bucket, and swing functions for efficient digging and dozing. The two-speed auto-shift travel system automatically adjusts traction and speed to match terrain, while the dozer blade float function makes backfilling and levelling easy and precise.
Inside, the U36-4’s spacious cab delivers class-leading comfort with ergonomic joystick controls, adjustable suspension seating, and excellent all-round visibility. The digital display panel provides clear, real-time machine data, while reduced noise and vibration levels enhance operator comfort during long working hours.
Safety and reliability are standard, featuring ROPS/TOPS/OPG protection, travel lock levers, LED work lights, and Kubota’s Anti-Theft System for complete peace of mind. Rugged, reliable, and easy to maintain, the Kubota U36-4 is built to perform in every condition with the durability professionals expect.
