Kubota has been manufacturing construction equipment since 1953 and has quickly become one of the leading names in high-end equipment and performance. The company has been supplying Australia for over 40 years with its superior craftsmanship in excavators.
Kubota offers a wide range of quality excavators ranging from the respectful 0.8-tonne model, right up to its heavyweight of the range in the 8.2-tonne model. Whatever machine you choose, it is sure to make light work of any job you have in mind.
Making the right choice of excavator to use can be tricky at the best of times, so Kubota has separated its products into two sections.
