Equipment Overview
The Kubota U15 is a zero tail swing mini excavator in the 1.5 to 1.6-tonne class, built for a full 360-degree slew without the rear of the machine swinging past the tracks. Operating weight is 1,600 kg, and the adjustable track gauge expands to a maximum of 1,240 mm for added stability, or retracts down for passing through narrow doorways and site boundaries. Digging depth reaches 2.31 m, putting it ahead of most machines in its weight class.
The Kubota D782 engine is a water-cooled 3-cylinder diesel rated at 9.6 kW (13 PS) at 2,300 rpm, feeding a variable displacement piston pump for smooth, well-balanced hydraulic control. Drive is hydrostatic with a two-speed travel switch relocated to the dozer lever, and a straight-travel hydraulic circuit keeps the machine tracking true during loading and unloading. Front bushings throughout the swing bracket and pivot points are built in for durability.
