The Kubota U55 is a conventional-tail-swing mini-excavator in the 5-tonne class, with an operating weight of 5400 kg and an engine output of 45 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 0.13 m³, placing it at the upper end of the compact excavator segment where digging performance begins to approach mid-size machine capability. The U55 competes directly in a category favoured for its balance between site manoeuvrability and productive output.
Machines in this weight class are routinely deployed on utility trenching, drainage installation, landscaping, and confined urban construction sites where larger equipment cannot operate efficiently. The 5-tonne category also handles foundation work for residential construction, road maintenance, and material handling tasks when paired with appropriate attachments. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for work in restricted access areas while still offering meaningful digging depth and breakout force.
Inspection of a used mini-excavator in this class should include a thorough check of the undercarriage, as track wear, roller condition, and drive motor seals represent significant maintenance items on any machine of this type. The boom, dipper, and bucket pins and bushings should be assessed for play, and all hydraulic lines and cylinders should be examined for leaks or surface damage. Service history documentation, particularly evidence of regular filter and fluid changes, is an important indicator of how the machine has been maintained. Buyers should verify that all auxiliary hydraulic circuits and attachment interfaces function correctly prior to purchase.
On the European used market, the Kubota U55 carries an average asking price of EUR 18700, with individual units spanning a broad range from EUR 3200 to EUR 33860 depending on age, condition, and specification. This spread reflects the depth of the used supply across multiple machine generations. Buyers evaluating the U55 should benchmark it against comparable units from Yanmar, specifically the VIO57, and JCB, specifically the 8055, as these models occupy the same operational segment and frequently appear alongside the Kubota in procurement shortlists.
