About · Kubota U48

Overview

The Kubota U48 is a midi/mini-excavator with an operating weight of 5015 kg and an engine output of 40 hp. It carries a bucket capacity of 0.12 m3, positioning it at the upper end of the compact excavator segment. The machine is designed for tasks that require a balance between digging performance and site mobility.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Compact excavators in this weight and power class are well suited to utility installation, landscaping, foundation work, and confined-site demolition. The reduced footprint relative to full-size excavators makes them a practical choice for urban construction environments and access-restricted plots. Secondary applications include drainage work, trench digging, and material handling with appropriate attachments.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Inspection of any used compact excavator in this class should cover undercarriage wear across the tracks, rollers, and idlers, as these components represent a significant portion of long-term ownership cost. Hydraulic circuits should be checked for cylinder seal condition, hose integrity, and response accuracy across all functions. Engine oil condition, coolant system integrity, and the service history documentation should all be reviewed prior to purchase. Buyers should also verify that any installed attachments are properly matched to the machine's hydraulic flow specifications.

Current market

Price position

On the European used market the Kubota U48 carries an average asking price of EUR 28982, with a typical price range spanning EUR 24050 to EUR 35340. Condition, age, and attachment configuration are primary drivers of variation within that band. Competing models in the same segment include the Takeuchi TB250 and the Komatsu PC50, and buyers should assess relative availability and parts support for each when evaluating options.
