For sheer productivity, no other ultra-compact excavator measures up to the K008-3. By upgrading it in the essential areas of performance, durability, serviceability, and comfort, the spacious K008-3 outperforms the competitors in a wide range of construction and building work.

Protected Auxiliary Hoses
By routing its auxiliary hoses through the boom, the K008-3 no longer requires lengthy hoses when connecting your implements. Furthermore, a shorter hose length greatly reduces the risk of snagging and causing damage.

Two-Speed Travel
Need to make up time? Step on the K008-3's hi-speed pedal, and you'll maneuver around job sites faster than any other compact excavator in its class.
Two-Way Lever
Located within easy reach, it gives you quick control of either blade or track gauge.
TPSS
TPSS is standard equipment, allowing the operator to select the most familiar operating control pattern, either ISO or SAE.

Fast and Easy Maintenance
A full-open bonnet and new engine layout makes daily inspection and maintenance of essential components a snap. Both features now provide you with easy access to the radiator, battery, coolant, fuel filter, and dual-element air cleaner.
Comfortable Operator's Seat
Well padded and contoured, you'll truly appreciate the comfort of its operator's seat, especially during long days of operation.
Swing Bracket Pin Bushings
To increase life of components, swing bracket pins have bushings.
Spacious Operator's Area
You'll find it more comfortable behind the operating levers of the K008-3. That's because we generously increased the space between the operating levers and the operator's seat, and lengthened the floorboards.
Wider Working Range
For maximum productivity, its digging/dumping heights, digging depths, and digging radius at ground level have all been increased. Click Here for an illustration.

Pedal-Operated Boom Swing
A convenient toe-heel pedal lets you easily operate both the boom swing and upper-house swivel at the same time.
Reliable Kubota E-TVCS Engine
Super dependable and efficient, the combustion created by our engine's unique Three-Vortex Combustion System reduces exhaust emission, noise, and vibration.

Adjustable Width Track Frame
To enable passage through narrow spaces such as doorways and gates, the adjustable width track frame can reduce the K008-3's track down to 2'4" by simply operating a single lever. Plus, changing the blade width is as easy as removing one pin by hand.
Improved Hose and Boom Cylinder Protection
With all the hydraulic hoses and the boom cylinder uniquely hidden within the boom and dipper arm, the K008-3 increases service life by offering outstanding protection from damage.
Straight Wall Trenching
Equipped with a swing angle of up to 60 degrees, the K008-3 lets you dig a straight trench along any wall.
Foldable ROPS
Rollover Protective Structure provides you with an extra measure of safety. It folds down to make easier transporting and storage of the excavator.
Protected Bucket Hoses
By running inside the dipper arm, the bucket hoses are also well protected from damage.

Handy Toolbox
To help you perform basic maintenance, the K008-3 comes complete with a toolbox conveniently located under the operator's seat.
