44 Spring 2021 K ubota has expanded its range of track dumpers with the launch of two new Stage V emission- compliant models, the KC300HR-5 and KC300H-5. Both models have a maximum load capacity of 2,875 kg and are capable of transporting large quantities of material in a short time. In the H version, the machine is equipped with a hydraulic three- sided tiltable loading trough. The tipping angle of this model is max. 55°, the tipping angle of the HR version is max. 84°. In addition, the tipper is equipped with a stepless, hydraulic 180° rotation function (HR - hydraulic rotation 90° right / 90° left). With this version, the rotation function can be actuated at the same time as the tipping of the body. This gives the operator the great advantage of being able to unload the bulk material with pinpoint accuracy, which significantly increases the flexibility of the machine. The heart of these two models is the liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engine V2403, which complies with the current European exhaust gas stage V. The four-cylinder diesel engine enables the machine to be operated with a high degree of flexibility. It provides the operator with a wide power spectrum in all working situations and, if required, a high driving speed of up to 11 km/h, even when loaded. Other design features include a robust crawler chassis that guarantees the operator efficient and comfortable working. Ground clearance is 330 mm, ensuring avoidance of obstacles and making machine use on uneven terrain much easier. The reversible seat allows the driver to turn 180 degrees and face the opposite direction of travel so they can adjust their seating position to the corresponding loading direction at all times, even in tight construction sites. Joystick operation and a digital display showing engine and machine data are always in the operator’s field of vision, even in reverse gear and with the seat direction adjusted. Construction Division Manager Glen Hampson said, “These two KC300H-5 and HR-5 models are an exciting new addition to our track dumper range and the result of years of experience and continuous investment in new product development. The KC300-5 meets the latest European Stage V diesel emissions regulations and combines power and speed with unbeatable flexibility - all in a compact design.” KUBOTA ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF A NEW EU STAGE V TRACKED DUMP TRUCK “The KC300-5 meets the latest European Stage V diesel emissions regulations and combines power and speed with unbeatable exibility - all in a compact design.” INDUSTRY NEWS
