Description

The Kubota U-17 Mini Digger is a reliable and compact 1.7-tonne excavator that combines strong digging performance with a design tailored for tight access and confined work areas. Featuring a zero-tail swing, the U-17 can rotate fully within its own footprint — reducing the risk of damage and making it ideal for working close to walls, fences, or in urban spaces.

Equipped with a robust Kubota diesel engine and smooth hydraulic controls, this digger delivers excellent power and responsiveness across a range of applications, including trenching, footings, drainage, landscaping, and general site prep. The variable track width system allows the undercarriage to retract to just 990 mm, so it fits through narrow gates and passages, while expanding to 1,240 mm for greater stability during operation.

Despite its compact size, the U-17 features a spacious operator platform with ergonomic controls, making it comfortable and easy to use for both seasoned operators and DIY users alike.

Whether you’re tackling a domestic garden renovation or managing commercial groundwork on a restricted site, the Kubota U-17 offers the perfect balance of manoeuvrability, reliability, and digging performance.
