Why it wins

The 4-ton excavator that does it all.

Six reasons contractors and landowners choose the KX040-5.

01

Kubota common-rail diesel

The D1803-CR-TE5 delivers 40.3 HP, and engine speed sensing matches power to the load for strong digging and lower fuel use.

02

Digs deep, breaks out hard

11 ft 2.3 in of depth and 9,397 lbf at the bucket for basements, septic, footings and hard, rocky ground.

03

Attachment-ready hydraulics

29.1 GPM pump and 17.2 GPM auxiliary flow with proportional thumb-roller control for thumbs, augers, breakers and compactors.

04

All-new -5 cab

Bigger glass, no roof slash bars, more head and foot room, heat and A/C, and a 7 in color display with a backlit keypad.

05

Stable at full reach

A conventional tail swing puts the counterweight further back, so the machine stays planted when lifting and digging far out.

06

KubotaNOW telematics

See location, hours, maintenance reminders and alerts from your phone, standard on every KX040-5.

Machine details

Specifications and what is included

The Kubota KX040-5 is the newest 4-ton class compact excavator from Kubota, the world's best-selling compact excavator brand. It replaces the popular KX040-4 with a redesigned cab, a larger 7 in color display, engine speed sensing and KubotaNOW telematics as standard. This unit is the enclosed cab model with heat and air conditioning, on rubber tracks with a dozer blade and auxiliary hydraulic lines plumbed to the end of the arm.

Power comes from the Kubota D1803-CR-TE5 3-cylinder common-rail turbo diesel, 40.3 gross HP. It digs to 11 ft 2.3 in, delivers 9,397 lbf of bucket breakout force and runs attachments on up to 17.2 GPM of auxiliary flow. At about 10,000 lb it is big enough for real excavation and still small enough to haul behind a heavy-duty pickup. Delivered free by flatbed freight to the contiguous 48 states.

What your order includes

  • Brand-new Kubota KX040-5 compact excavator, enclosed cab with heat and A/C
  • Kubota D1803-CR-TE5 turbo diesel engine, 40.3 gross HP, EPA Tier 4 Final
  • Rubber tracks and dozer blade
  • Auxiliary hydraulic lines plumbed to the arm, proportional thumb-roller control on the joystick
  • 7 in color LCD display, backlit keypad and KubotaNOW telematics
  • Operator's manual and pre-delivery inspection
  • Flatbed delivery to the contiguous 48 states, freight included

Why the KX040-5

  • Kubota-built common-rail diesel. The D1803-CR-TE5 is designed and built by Kubota. Engine speed sensing matches engine and pump output to the load, so the machine stays strong in heavy digging without wasting fuel.
  • 11 ft 2.3 in of digging depth. Deep enough for basements, septic systems, footings, utility trenches and drainage, where a 2-3 ton machine runs out of reach.
  • 9,397 lbf bucket breakout force. Plus 4,114 lbf at the arm, to tear through clay, hardpan, roots and rocky ground.
  • 29.1 GPM pump capacity, 17.2 GPM auxiliary. The standard AUX1 circuit runs thumbs, augers, breakers, compactors and tilt buckets. A thumb roller on the joystick gives proportional flow, and a forefinger switch gives constant flow for augers and breakers. AUX2 is available as an option.
  • Redesigned cab. Larger glass area and no roof-window slash bars for a clear view of the bucket, more head and foot room, a high-back seat, heat and A/C, and a front window that stows overhead inside the cab.
  • Conventional tail swing for stability. The counterweight sits further back, which keeps the machine planted when lifting and digging with the arm at full reach.
  • Two-speed travel. 1.7 mph low range for work and 3.1 mph high range to move around the site faster.
  • KubotaNOW telematics standard. Machine location, hours, maintenance reminders and alerts from your phone.
  • Easy daily service. Wide-opening engine and side covers give ground-level access to daily check points, and Kubota dealers stock filters and parts nationwide.

In the field

  • Excavation - basements, foundations, footings, pools and pond work.
  • Utilities and drainage - water, sewer, electrical and septic trenches, French drains and culverts.
  • Land clearing - stump removal, root digging and brush with a thumb or grapple.
  • Grading and backfill - the dozer blade levels, backfills trenches and cleans up the site.
  • Hardscape and landscaping - boulders, retaining walls, tree planting and drainage.
  • Farm and acreage - fence lines, ditches, water lines and pond maintenance.
  • Demolition and breaking - concrete and rock with a hydraulic breaker on the auxiliary circuit.

Compatible attachments

The KX040-5 runs a wide range of 4-ton class excavator attachments from its auxiliary circuit (17.2 GPM high / 9.8 GPM low). Common choices: digging and trenching buckets, ditch cleaning bucket, hydraulic thumb, augers (6 - 30 GPM models), hydraulic breaker, plate compactor, grapple and tilt bucket. Contact us before ordering if you want help matching an attachment to the machine.
