Used 2022 Kubota U55-5 Open Canopy Excavator — For Sale at Lashley Kubota

Good Condition | 1,054 Hours | Atlanta, GA Includes: Hydraulic Thumb | Quick Coupler | 24″ Quick Attach Bucket

If you are searching for a used Kubota U55-5 excavator in Atlanta, this 2022 unit at Lashley Kubota is worth a close look. At just 1,054 hours, this machine has accumulated very little use for its age, and it arrives in good condition. Furthermore, the open canopy U55-5R1A comes equipped with a hydraulic thumb, quick coupler, and 24-inch quick attach bucket. To put that in perspective, sourcing that attachment package separately at retail would cost $6,000–$10,000. Lashley Kubota’s own Kubota-certified service team maintains this unit, and it is available for inspection at our Atlanta location today.

Why the Used Kubota U55-5 Excavator Is Atlanta’s Go-To 5-Ton Machine

The Kubota U55-5 is the world’s best-selling compact excavator platform. Its reputation was earned the same way every Kubota earns it — through reliability, straightforward serviceability, and genuine productivity across the full range of job site conditions Atlanta contractors face every day. As a result, the U55-5 delivers real 5-ton digging performance at 47.6 HP in spaces where a conventional excavator simply cannot operate.

Most importantly, the tight tail swing design keeps the rear counterweight within the track width during full rotation. In practice, that means you can swing and dig close to walls, fences, structures, and parked vehicles without clearing the area behind the machine first. For example, on Atlanta’s urban infill sites, gated residential properties, and commercial corridors, that capability is often the deciding factor in whether a compact excavator can be used at all.

Open ROPS Canopy — Excellent Sightlines, Lower Cost

The R1A designation means this machine has an open ROPS canopy operator station — no enclosed cab. Experienced operators appreciate the unobstructed sightlines it provides to the bucket, trench, and surrounding job site. In addition, there are no cab pillars or glass panels restricting your view in any direction. The open canopy is also lighter than the cab configuration, which marginally improves machine balance and keeps transport weight down.

Beyond that, the open canopy keeps the purchase price lower than an equivalent cab machine. However, digging performance, the Kubota hydraulic system, and the V2607-CR-E5 drivetrain remain identical across both configurations. For crews working predominantly in warmer months — or operators who simply prefer the open station — this is the right configuration at the right price point.

47.6 HP Kubota V2607-CR-E5 — Four-Cylinder Common Rail Diesel

The U55-5 runs on Kubota’s own V2607-CR-E5 — a water-cooled, 4-cylinder common rail diesel producing 47.6 HP gross at 2,200 rpm. Common rail fuel injection delivers precise fuel metering across the full rpm range. As a result, operators get strong low-end torque for hard digging, efficient fuel consumption at moderate loads, and clean running that meets EPA Tier 4 standards without a diesel particulate filter. Additionally, Lashley Kubota stocks parts on-site, service intervals are straightforward, and every technician on our service team knows this engine without a learning curve.

What’s Included — and Why It Matters

Hydraulic Thumb The hydraulic thumb expands what this excavator can do beyond digging. For example, with the thumb engaged, your operator can grab boulders, concrete chunks, tree stumps, pipe sections, and debris with precision. Instead of manual repositioning or a second machine on site, the thumb holds material securely against the bucket in one controlled motion. On demolition, land clearing, site prep, and utility installation jobs, a hydraulic thumb routinely cuts hours off a day’s work. As a result, multiple passes and hand-placing material become unnecessary. In short, it is one of the highest-ROI attachments available for a compact excavator — and it already comes with this machine.

Quick Coupler The included quick coupler lets your operator change buckets and pin-on attachments faster than a traditional manual pin change. Consequently, less time on attachment swaps means more time on production. When your crew runs multiple tasks in a day — trenching, backfilling, grading — the machine keeps working instead of sitting idle.

24″ Quick Attach Bucket The 24-inch quick attach bucket is correctly sized for the U55-5. It handles standard utility, landscaping, foundation, and grading work efficiently. Furthermore, it includes full compatibility with the quick coupler. This is the bucket your crew will likely keep on the machine for the majority of their work.

Who This Machine Is Built For

• General contractors running site prep, foundation, utility, and grading work across Atlanta’s residential and commercial corridors who need proven 5-ton digging capability in a compact footprint
• Land clearing and demolition crews who need a hydraulic thumb to grab stumps, rocks, concrete, and debris without bringing a second machine to site
• Landscapers and hardscape crews doing large-scale backyard work, retaining wall installation, pool excavation, and drainage projects where tight-space access and material handling precision both matter
• Utility and irrigation contractors running service lines through residential and commercial right-of-way where access is restricted by fences, structures, and landscaping
• Equipment investors looking for a low-hour, well-maintained U55-5 with a hydraulic thumb package that supports strong resale value and immediate rental income
