Kubota KX080-5 Excavator
An 8-ton excavator with a 15-foot dig depth, ready for ditches, pads, and clearing.
The 2026 Kubota KX080-5 is an 8-ton-class excavator with a 66.6-horsepower Kubota diesel, a two-pump load-sensing hydraulic system, and the reach and digging force for serious work: footings, ditches, drainage, trenching, stump removal, and loading trucks.
The enclosed cab, 7-inch monitor, and rear-view camera make long days easier on the operator, and the short rear overhang lets it work close to structures and fence lines.
