Used excavators are highly sought-after in the construction machinery market, and the KUBOTA KX163 stands out with its unique and exceptional advantages. Let's take a closer look.
1. The KX163 Engine
The Kubota KX163 is equipped with a V2607-E3 engine, independently developed and manufactured by Kubota. Renowned for its fuel efficiency and low noise levels, this engine reliably performs in various harsh working conditions, effortlessly handling extreme environments, whether in intense cold or heat.
2. Triple-Pump Load-Sensing Hydraulic System
Building upon its single-pump load-sensing system, Kubota advanced further by developing a triple-pump load-sensing hydraulic system for the KX163. Based on the triple-pump principle, the front attachment, travel, and dozer blade can operate independently. This enables highly efficient hydraulic control that dynamically responds to the actual workload.
3. High Lifting Capacity & New Intelligent Control System
The KX163 offers excellent stability, which translates into impressive lifting capabilities, with a maximum forward lifting capacity of 1145 kg.
Its new Intelligent Control System utilizes advanced signal acquisition, processing, and distribution systems. By collecting and processing this data, it monitors the excavator's real-time operational status to adapt to complex conditions. Key data like operating hours, fuel level, water temperature, and engine RPM are clearly displayed. The system instantly alerts the operator to any abnormalities and includes a 90-day operational data log and maintenance reminder function.
4. Zero Tail Swing & Boom Offset
Zero Tail Swing: When the upper structure swings, the rear overhang is only 65mm beyond the tracks. This allows for free operation even in extremely confined spaces.
Boom Offset: The boom offset mechanism at the front enables direct digging right up against walls or foundations without needing to frequently reposition the entire machine. Combined with the zero-tail-swing design, it excels in tight quarters.
5. Safety, Efficiency, and Comfort
The cab meets world-class safety standards, designed to maximize operator protection in the event of an accident. The KX163 features a seat whose cushion firmness can be adjusted based on the operator's weight, enhancing comfort and reducing fatigue. A large-capacity heating and air conditioning system ensures a comfortable operating environment.
6. Ease of Maintenance & Security
The fully open hood and centralized grease nipple layout make daily inspections and maintenance quicker and more efficient. The KX163 also features Kubota's exclusive "SS Key" system, which simultaneously locks the electrical, hydraulic, and fuel systems. Only an authorized key can start these systems. If an unauthorized key is used six times, the equipment triggers an automatic alarm.
7. Auto Idle
If all operations cease for 4 seconds, the engine automatically switches to idle speed. Operation immediately resumes at the previous RPM once controls are reactivated. This Auto Idle function significantly reduces fuel consumption. Furthermore, it minimizes noise disturbance, making it ideal for night work in urban areas.
