Kubota<\/a> has announced today (5 June), on World Environmental Day, the launch of the new KX042-4\u03b1 excavator, the most environmentally friendly excavator in its class<\/h2>\n

The improved Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system ensures clean exhaust emissions<\/a> and reduces maintenance by increasing the service intervals for both the regeneration filter and ash cleaner.<\/p>\n

Using an auto idling system, the KX042-4\u03b1 helps the users save fuel. When the control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, the engine RPM automatically idles. When any control lever is moved, the engine RPM immediately returns.<\/p>\n

This innovative feature reduces noise<\/a> and exhaust emissions while reducing operating costs, making the updated machine an ideal choice for jobs in built-up urban environments.<\/p>\n

The KX042-4\u03b1 also has the power and versatility to handle the toughest jobs with ease and efficiency, thanks to digging and lifting performance, AUX oil flow with proportional flow control, auto-shift and float position, making work fast and easy.<\/p>\n

Other enhancements include a deluxe suspension seat, designed and engineered to fit better and keep users working for longer comfortably and reducing strain. It also comes with a spacious cab and wide entrance, developed again to optimise operator comfort and give generous legroom to minimise fatigue.<\/p>\n

Those using the excavator are also able to leave the machine with ease.<\/p>\n

A powerful and reliable engine<\/h3>\n

Glen Hampson, business development manager for construction at Kubota UK, said: \u201cOur focus at Kubota is to help our customers overcome many of the barriers they face in today\u2019s complicated industry.<\/p>\n

“The KX042-4\u03b1 will do just this, with a powerful and reliable engine and the versatility you need for every job on the worksite.<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s more, the Stage-V compliant engine and improved DPF will reduce emissions and increase the overall sustainability of the machine, which is a key priority across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
