Kubota U25-3 mini excavator

[tylertown]

I think im pretty sure im going with a Kubota mini excavator and I have had my eye on the U25. have any of you operated one in the field or had and experience on one? I was just looking for some input on this machine. is it strong enough to tackle a bigger job for a mini trackhoe yet small enough to do some tight spot residential work? all comments welcome!!! I like the U35 too but I think for the amount of machine your getting over the U25 for an extra $12,000 cant be worth that. about 2000lb difference but horse power and reach are pretty much the exact same. decisions decisions....

Can't go wrong with Kubota- have owned 3 U35-3's and they are great powerful little machines, get a thumb, & quick coupler. Haven't had any time on a U25 but would bet it is a good machine. Good Luck

I have a U17 and have been absolutely thrilled with its abilities. The only thing I need that it doesn't currently have is a thumb. I'm at 550 completely trouble free hours right now.

I have a 2007 u35 with 1600 hrs and its a great smooth running machine. My hydraulic pump has a small oil drip. Dealer says that quite common
