These new size offerings expand the company’s current attachment choices for the mini track loader and small articulated loader lines. The models feature a high-efficiency, direct-drive motor that maximizes hydraulic horsepower for cutting and mulching of tall, thick vegetation in one pass. The high cutting speeds and heavy-duty blades maximize inertia to cut and mulch vegetation up to 2″ in diameter.

With its semi-automatic choke lever, one-touch stop, no-slip grip design, and 1/4″ STIHL PICCO™ (PM3) saw chain, the HT 105 makes tough jobs easier. Upgrades from the previous model include a new durable metal gearbox with a metal branch hook, outboard guide bar and saw chain mounting, and a quick-adjustment shaft design.

Kubota has a new addition to its excavator lineup: the U10-5 minimal tail swing excavator. Ideal for working in tight spaces, the U10-5 is for someone who requires a compact excavator in the 0 to 1-ton range, but in a more compact frame with minimal tail swing for agility and flexibility. The U10-5 offers easy, single-level maneuver-ability with hydraulic adjustable track widths that quickly contract to 2’ 6″ to fit through small spaces like doorways, fence gates, and more. The tracks can then widen out to 3’ 3″. The U10-5 extends to a 5’11” digging depth with a bucket breakout force of 2,337 lbs. A hydraulic control system offers smooth operation and an increase in digging productivity; while the side lever joystick operational controls are the same as found on larger Kubota excavators.

Equipped with knife-style cutting teeth on a split ring rotor, the mulchers’ spiral, double helix tool pattern and innovative tool shape allow for efficient cutting of up to 5″ material. A controlled and metered cutting depth allows the operator to maintain high rotor rpms and a productive mulching rate. The teeth may be sharpened and easily flipped for a fresh cutting edge, extending the tool’s life.
