Über · Kubota KX060Übersicht
The Kubota KX060 is a 5,560 kg mini-excavator producing 47 hp, positioned in the upper end of the compact excavator class. It has been in continuous production since 2020 and carries a rated bucket capacity of 0.14 m3. Its weight and power output place it at the boundary between true compact machines and mid-size excavators, giving it capabilities that extend beyond lighter five-tonne class rivals.
Typische AnwendungsbereicheWo diese Maschine eingesetzt wird
Machines in this class are suited to utility trenching, pipeline installation, landscaping, and confined urban construction sites where a full-size excavator cannot manoeuvre. The combination of reach, breakout force typical of the six-tonne class, and a relatively contained footprint makes the KX060 a practical choice for civil contractors and groundworks specialists. Hire fleets also deploy units of this size extensively for general site preparation and drainage works.
Gebrauchtmarkt-InspektionWas Sie vor dem Kauf beachten sollten
When inspecting a used mini-excavator of this class, prioritise the condition of the undercarriage, including track tension, rubber or steel track wear, and the state of rollers and sprockets, as these components carry significant replacement cost. Examine the hydraulic system for leaks at all cylinder seals, hose connections, and the slew motor, and verify that all auxiliary hydraulic circuits function correctly. Review the service history for evidence of routine filter and fluid changes in line with the manufacturer's schedule. Cab integrity, visibility, and ROPS condition should be assessed, and any signs of structural repair or unauthorised welding on the boom and arm warrant close scrutiny before purchase.
Aktueller MarktPreisposition
The KX060 competes directly with the JCB 57C-1 and the Bobcat E55 in the upper compact segment. Against the JCB 57C-1, buyers typically compare undercarriage configuration, cab refinement, and dealer network coverage, as both machines occupy similar weight brackets. The Bobcat E55 sits slightly lighter, making the KX060 the heavier and more powerful option for buyers who need additional digging performance without moving to a full mid-size class. Within any given cohort of KX060 units on the used market, the attributes that move a machine within its price band are recorded operating hours, attachment complement, such as quick-coupler fitment or additional buckets, overall mechanical condition, and whether the machine retains its original factory configuration or has been modified for specialist applications.
