The KX080-4 α2 also offers a host of other improvements that optimize performance and productivity, such as the new travel pedals, the bolt-on cab handle for easier replacement and the seatbelt alarm for maximum safety when working on site.

PERFORMANCE AND DESIGN WITH AN EYE ON THE ENVIRONMENT
The KX080-4α2 impresses with its high performance and extremely environmentally friendly machine operation. Flexibility and adaptability are the hallmarks of the revised machine design.
The machine is powered by a robust and reliable Kubota diesel engine with the common rail system (CRS) in combination with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in the silencer. The new 2-pump load-sensing hydraulic system improves work in conjunction with the front attachments. The KX080-4α2 offers a wide range of improvements that increase the comfort and performance of the machine for many more work applications.

Load-sensing hydraulic system
Kubota's load-sensing hydraulic system provides better control feel for the operator and lower fuel consumption in all working situations. Depending on the control lever position of the pilot valves, the hydraulic pump distributes the appropriate oil flow to the individual consumers as required. The result is a constant and simultaneous movement of the individual hydraulic cylinders in relation to the corresponding lever stroke of the control levers. As a result, digging and grading work can be carried out easily and precisely. Strictly according to the principle of power where it is needed. The new 2-pump L/S hydraulic system enables improved control and fluent movement of several simultaneous work movements. For example, the operation of various attachments while driving, or the effective use of special front attachments such as a mulcher or brush cutter.

Automatic idling (AI = Auto-Idling System) Kubota's idling speed system works fully automatically. If the machine's control levers are not operated for more than 4 seconds, the automatic idling system (AI) reduces the engine speed to idling speed. The driver does not have to perform any further control or steering functions for this. When work is resumed and the control levers are operated, the engine speed immediately returns to the preselected speed. This innovative system is very effective and makes a significant contribution to reducing operating noise, fuel consumption, exhaust emissions and the ongoing operating costs of the machine.

Dozer blade with floating position
When backfilling, the dozer blade no longer needs to be adjusted and controlled manually to level a straight surface. All you have to do is activate the floating position of the blade and drive the machine backwards along the surface in question, completing the ground surface quickly and easily.

Kubota original DI engine with
CRS and DPF system Equipped with a CRS (Common Rail System) and a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), Kubota's V3307 engine with direct injection fully complies with the “Stage-V” stage. The new DPF now has significantly longer operating times, which means that the maintenance intervals and maintenance work are significantly reduced; this applies to the maintenance interval of the regeneration filter and also to the total service life of the ash filter.

1. additional control circuits with flexible hydraulic oil quantity setting
(AUX1 + AUX2) The two independently acting, proportional auxiliary control circuits (AUX1 and AUX2) are part of the standard equipment of the KX080-4α2. The adjustment options for the maximum hydraulic oil quantity, via the digital instrument display, at the touch of a button and without tools from the driver's seat, give the KX080-4α2 unlimited application possibilities when using a wide variety of attachments. Once the hydraulic oil quantity has been set for the attachment, this setting can also be saved directly by the system and recalled when the same attachment is used at a later date. A total of 5 different attachments can be stored.

Travel drives with automatic
The travel drive of the KX080-4α2 enables a high tractive force through its various design features, with sensitive and simple control at the same time. The travel motors have also been equipped with the automatic travel speed changeover system, this modern, automatic travel drive system offers the operator great advantages and a high level of travel comfort, whatever the job.

COMFORTABLE CAB EQUIPMENT
The modern safety cab not only offers plenty of space and comfort for fatigue-free working, it goes without saying that we have also succeeded in further increasing operator comfort when revising the machine design. The large panoramic windows provide excellent all-round visibility, while the adjustable comfort seat and large footwell provide the necessary comfort. Thanks to the cab, which has been tested and certified in accordance with the ROPS structure (Roll Over Protection Structure, ISO 12117-2) and OPG structure (OPG, roof protection level I as standard, level II only optional with upper cab protection / Top Guard), it also guarantees maximum work safety for the driver. A comfortable workplace.

Air conditioning
A powerful heating and air conditioning system with six air vents ensures optimum comfort even on the coldest winter and hottest summer days.

Suspended comfort driver's seat
Designed and developed with maximum comfort in mind. The Kubota comfort seat with its high backrest reduces the strain on the driver and ensures fatigue-free working for the operator. The operator can make individual adjustments according to his body posture, including the adjustable wrist rests and the retractable seat belt.

1. digital display unit
Informative, interactive and functional, the Kubota Intelligent Control System continuously informs the operator about the current operating status of the machine via the LCD display. Simple and easy-to-understand symbols inform the operator about routine maintenance, for example. This also includes information such as engine speed, engine temperature, fuel gauge, operating hours and a record of the last 90 days of machine use. This means that the last 90 days of machine use, including the daily registered machine hours, are also displayed.

2. easy to open windshield
Unlike many other excavators, the front windshield of the KX080-4α2 can be opened with ease. Simply operate the latches on both sides of the window and slide them upwards to open. A GasAssist (system) makes this action almost effortless.

3. windshield protection / roof protection (level II only optional)
The optional protective grille for the cab windshield and cab roof provides additional protection for the operator. All attachment points on the cab are already provided as standard.

Left-hand control console
If the safety control lever and therefore the entire console is swiveled inwards, this provides significantly more space for getting in and out of the cab. To prevent any unexpected movement of the machine during entry or exit in this position, all control levers are deactivated until the console is locked back into place.

ROPS / OPG safety cab (Level I / ISO 10262)
The large safety cab in the Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS, ISO 12117-2) and OPG structure (Roof Protection Level I, ISO 10262) design is part of the machine's standard equipment.
standard equipment of the machine. In addition, OPG windscreen and cab roof protection to level II is also available as an option if required.

Large rear-view mirror
A large rear-view mirror now enables a wider range of transparency in the field of vision. Together with the two side rear-view mirrors, you get a better overview of your construction site and the immediate surroundings.

Cup holder
With the larger cup holder, the storage option for a cell phone and the corresponding 12V charging connection in the immediate vicinity of the operator, the machine has been equipped with further useful features.

MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY
Kubota goes one step further to simplify inspections and maintenance for the KX080-4α2. Vital components such as the battery, fluid tanks and filters are now even easier to access. And the automatic DPF regeneration system for the silencer represents the future technology of the KX080-4α2.

Automatic regeneration system
The Kubota regeneration system automatically burns off all soot particles accumulated in the DPF silencer, thus ensuring a long and environmentally friendly operation of the machine. For various safety reasons, the automatic regeneration can be switched off. If, for example, the excavator is operated in an area with flammable materials, this function can be used. The current DPF regeneration status is shown on the digital display, so you can always concentrate on your actual work.

Two-part hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses The two-part hydraulic hoses for the dozer blade reduce the time required to change a hose by almost 60% compared to a complete hose.

Small tail swing radius
The KX080-4α2 was designed and developed with the best possible stability and the smallest possible rear swing radius in mind. Both machine features allow the operator to concentrate undisturbed on the sensitive control of the working movements, even on the tightest construction site. The small rear swing radius and the cast steel side protectors provide optimum protection against accidental damage to the hood and rear of the machine, even in confined spaces.

Compact machine dimensions
The Kubota KX080-4α2 is the ideal machine for increasingly tight construction sites thanks to its compact design and undercarriage width of just 2,200 mm. Of course, the small dimensions also make machine transportation much easier.
