This is the machine for tight yards and the small jobs that come up every day: loading soil, gravel or manure, feeding a concrete mixer, clearing a yard, moving materials between the pile and the work point. At 1,150 mm wide and 2,300 mm high, it passes through ordinary farmyard gates and gets into barns, greenhouses or small sheds where a full-size machine has no business being.
What sets it apart is the engine and the way it travels. The Kubota D1105 is a three-cylinder, water-cooled diesel of 1,123 cm³, delivering 18.4 kW (24.7 hp) at 3,000 rpm with a rated fuel consumption of 1.3-1.5 litres per hour; the 15-litre tank covers a normal working day. It is an engine widely used on professional compact machines. Travel is hydrostatic, with a closed-circuit piston pump and a hydraulic motor, so speed is metered continuously from 0 to 8 km/h, and the machine climbs gradients of up to 25%.
It suits large smallholdings, small farms, landscaping firms and installation crews working in spaces that are already built. The rated load is 300 kg and the max. load 600 kg: this is a machine for handling and clearing, not for loading tipper trucks all day. With an operating weight of 1,725 kg, it travels on an ordinary car trailer, with no oversize transport.
As standard it comes with a 0.23 m³ bucket, 1,150 mm wide, that dumps from a height of 2,060 mm, at 650 mm from the machine. The hydraulic control valve has four sections and works at 18 MPa, leaving a free circuit for a hydraulically driven attachment. The cab with air conditioning can be ordered as an option.
