“With the new KX080-5, customers are getting Kubota’s biggest and most powerful excavator in our lineup with all of the -5 upgrades included,” said Bill Holton, Kubota Product Manager, Construction Equipment. “When a customer walks into a Kubota dealership looking for our top-of-the-line model, the KX080-5 will give them all the power, performance, and premium operator experience features that come standard — like the air suspension seat, 7-inch LCD monitor, and keyless start — without having to add any upgrades.”
The two-pump load-sensing system improves the overall smoothness of operation when using attachments, letting operators effortlessly perform simultaneous tasks. Additionally, the auto-shift system enables automatic travel shift from high to low depending on traction effort and terrain, providing simultaneous operations when dozing and turning. A new programmable Engine Auto Stop feature turns off the engine when idling up to 30 minutes, and an Auto Idling System reduces engine RPM instinctively when high engine speed isn’t needed and the control levers are in neutral for more than four seconds.
A new full-color, 7-inch LCD monitor with jog dial provides operators with vital information and easy access to functions like auxiliary flow adjustment and automatic activation of third line hydraulic return. KubotaNOW telematics come standard on the KX080-5, providing operators with critical information like accumulated hours, fuel level, location, and temperatures through the myKubota app. In addition, keyless start comes standard. The engine can be started by entering a four-digit passcode on the excavator keypad and up to 10 user passwords can be set.
