Kubota mini excavators are also stealing a march over their competitors due to the increasing number of useful attachments that can be fitted, delivering added versatility and productivity in building, construction, demolition, landscaping, groundcare and other sectors.

All models, can have the Miller or Klac quick hitch coupler systems fitted by distributors to allow the operator to rapidly switch between attachments from inside the machine's cab.
