Mini Excavator

Kubota U17-5 Mini Excavator

The do-everything machine for tight residential lots. Zero tail swing means it works right up against fences and foundations, expanding tracks keep it planted, and the dozer blade handles backfill and grading. Add a hydraulic thumb for placing rock and you've got the most useful machine on most jobsites.
