The Kubota U17-3α is a mini excavator from 2017 weighing 1,775 kg (nameplate value) with an 11.8 kW engine. The U in Kubota’s naming stands for its ultra-short tail swing radius: the rear end doesn’t extend beyond the tracks, so you can work flush against walls without hitting them. It features an expandable undercarriage, which narrows to pass through gates and widens for stability during excavation.
Equipment and Condition
- Ultra-short tail swing radius (U series)
- Expandable undercarriage and blade
- Rubber tracks, also suitable on asphalt and paved surfaces
- ROPS protective canopy
- One bucket included, serial number 29517

Suitable Applications
A 1.7-tonne machine fits where larger equipment can’t: gardens, courtyards, basements, renovations, excavation for water, gas and fibre connections, small foundations and fencing work. It can be transported on a trailer behind a suitable van or pick-up truck.
It’s one of the most sought-after sizes among tradespeople, landscapers and small construction firms, and it holds its value well over time.
