Features

Angle Blade Optional Hydraulic Angle Blade*

Save time and work more efficiently. With a simple movement of the new thumb operated rocker switch on the dozer lever, the hydraulic angle blade (optional) can be angled to the right or left to push soil to the side as the machine moves forward, eliminating the need for repetitive repositioning at right angles when backfilling trenches.

*Available on KX033-4, KX040-4, KX057-5, KX080-4S, KX080-5

Hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade

Kubota's hydraulic 6-in-1 Blade can be angled right and left – and now, tilted as well. This blade enables six different positions: neutral, float-up, left-end-up, right-end-up, left-end-forward and right-end-forward. This feature makes leveling and backfilling work incredibly easy, even on inclines and uneven terrain, making you more productive and more efficient.

*Available on KX040-4
