USD 40,999 | 1,368 Hours | Good Condition | Atlanta, GA

If you need a machine that works as hard as you do without slowing you down in tight spaces, the Kubota U55-5 is built for exactly that. This 2022 model brings 47.6 horsepower to the job site in a tight tail swing design that lets you dig close to walls, fences, and structures without constantly repositioning. At 1,368 hours and priced at $40,999, this is a well-maintained machine ready to go to work.

Why the U55-5 Gets the Job Done

The U55-5 is Kubota’s flagship 5-ton compact excavator — the machine contractors reach for when they need real digging power without a full-size footprint. The tight tail swing design is the standout feature here. It keeps the rear of the machine within the width of the tracks during rotation, which means you can work safely and efficiently in urban job sites, gated yards, and confined areas where a conventional tail swing machine simply can’t operate.

Powered by Kubota’s own V2607-CR-E5 diesel engine producing 47.6 HP gross at 2,200 rpm, this excavator doesn’t compromise on performance to achieve its compact size. You get real digging muscle — 10,172 lbs of bucket breakout force — in a machine you can trailer easily and maneuver confidently.

Who This Machine Is Built For

The U55-5 is the go-to choice for:

• General contractors tackling foundation work, site prep, and utility installation in residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors
• Landscaping and hardscape crews who need digging power in gated residential properties and backyard projects
• Utility and pipeline contractors working in urban right-of-way situations where space is limited and swing clearance matters
• Rental operators and equipment investors looking for a high-demand, easy-to-transport excavator with broad jobsite applicability

Tight Tail Swing — Why It Matters

On a conventional excavator, the counterweight swings well outside the track width when the machine rotates. On a job site near a building, fence, or road barrier, that’s a safety hazard and a workflow stopper. The U55-5’s tight tail swing keeps the rear counterweight within the track footprint, letting you rotate and dig without clearing the area behind you first. It’s not just a convenience — on urban job sites, it’s the difference between getting the job done and not being able to use the machine at all.
