I help contractors and property owners across Grey and Bruce County match a Kubota to the actual work — not just move a machine off the lot. The calls are septic beds, laneways, foundations, site prep, demo — and the machine that shows up has to do more than one of those. Tell me how tight the site is, how deep you need to dig, and how much you need to lift, and I'll point you to the machine; Robert's Equipment backs it with parts and service.
People call about a lot of jobs. Nobody buys an excavator to do only one of them. I size on four things.
Tight sites — U-series. Zero tail swing. The tail stays inside the tracks so you can work next to a wall, a tank, or a lot line without swinging into what you're trying to protect.
U17 · U27 · U35
Dig depth and lift — KX. Open work, boulders, armour stone, precast. You're buying how deep it digs and how much it lifts, from Kubota's published numbers — not a guess.
KX040-5 · KX057-5 · KX080-5
Want to trailer it yourself — KX033. The KX that tows easily because of weight. First step-up when you still want to move it with the truck you already run.
KX033-4
One machine for as many jobs as possible — TLB. Tractor, loader, and a heavy-duty commercial-grade backhoe with hydraulic power to spare. An excavator is the more flexible digging machine, but it isn't one unit that does it all. When the point is one machine, this is the one.
TLB Series
A track loader, skid steer, or carrier often rides along for backfill, grading, or moving material — that's support, not a separate pigeonhole.
SVL75-3 · SSV · KC Series
Don't pick these by what sells most. Size the hole and the lift.
New or used — ask what's on the ground.
A construction machine comes down to a handful of questions: how much room you've got to work, how deep you need to dig, how much you need to lift, and how you're hauling it job to job — pickup and trailer, or a float. Then the things that make the day easier: do you need a thumb for rock, brush and debris, and do you want a cab? Answer those and the machine sorts itself — a U where it's tight, a KX when it's about depth and lift, the KX033 when it has to trailer behind a pickup, the KX080 for lifting heavy in a small footprint, and a TLB when you want one machine for as many jobs as possible. Tell me the site, the digging, and how you move it, and I'll size it.
I sell and advise; Robert's Equipment in Owen Sound stands behind it with parts, service and warranty, and every new Kubota comes with a Kubota-backed warranty and flexible financing options from Kubota. You get one person to talk machines with, and a full dealer behind the sale.
U is for tight — zero tail swing, so the tail stays inside the tracks and you can work right up against a wall, a tank or a lot line.
From the published numbers on the Kubota site — we size to kubota.ca's series specs, not a guess.
Weight — it's light enough to tow easily with the truck you already run.
Large landscapers and construction companies that need to lift heavy loads or dig big holes — a ton of power in a small footprint.
When you want one machine for as many jobs as possible — tractor, loader and a commercial-grade backhoe with hydraulic power to spare.
