Automatic regeneration system

Kubota’s original automatic regeneration system automatically burns
accumulated particulate matter (soot) in the DPF muffler to keep the
muffler clean for longer operation. For safety reasons, automatic
regeneration can be turned off with the inhibit switch when the excavator is
operating in areas that are are close to material with potential for ignition.

INTERIOR
On the KX057-4, your comfort truly comes first. The luxurious cab
features a wider entrance, generous legroom and a deluxe seat.
The Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object
Protection Structure (OPG (TOP Guard, Level Ⅰ)) maximize safety.
Operability is greatly enhanced with more easy-to-use features than
ever before.

 A. Deluxe Suspension Seat
Designed and engineered to fit better and
to keep you working longer comfortably,
Kubota’s high-back suspension seat
reduces strain and minimizes operator
fatigue. It reclines to accommodate your
individual posture, and offers weight
compensation, firm and adjustable wrist
support and retractable seat belts.

B. 2-speed Travel Switch

By placing the 2-speed
travel switch on the
D dozer lever, dozing
operations can be done
faster and easier.

A C. Cup Holder
With the convenience of a bigger cup
holder, you can quench your thirst and
work longer without leaving the cab. Or
store your cell phone. The charging port
is located conveniently close by.

D. Wrist Rest
A thoughtfully designed wrist rest
enhances operation and reduces
operator fatigue.

E. Air Conditioning
The overall air circulation in the cab has
been improved, thanks to a stronger
cooling/heating unit and the positioning
of six vents around the operator to offer
better all-round comfort.

TPSS
The Two-Pattern Selection System positioned
under the seat allows the operator to shift control
styles conveniently while seated. A simple turn of
a switch is all it takes to select between the ISO
pattern and the SAE backhoe pattern.
SUPERIOR
PERFORMANCE
Combining the power for demanding jobs and the versatility to work in any condition, the
Kubota KX057-4 is ready to take on most challenges. It’s designed with excellent stability to
work with a variety of attachments. Versatility is greatly enhanced with precise oil flow control
for auxiliary circuits. With upgraded digging and lifting power, smoother travel performance
and improved versatility, this Kubota truly has what you need to get the job done well.

Increased Traction Force

The traction, when operating in low speed, has been
increased to 14,480 lbs. This helps ensure an efficient and
productive day on the job.

Enhanced Digging Force

The KX057-4 delivers an impressive bucket digging force of
11,177 lbs. Its powerful and well-balanced arm and bucket
allow the operator to dig faster and more efficiently even in the
toughest conditions.

Thumb Bracket And Relief Valves

The hydraulic thumb makes short work of a variety of loading
and material handling jobs. The factory installed mount
brackets and hydraulics significantly reduce the time needed to
mount accessories.

Auxiliary 1 Diverter Valve*

With the AUX1 diverter valve, the
AUX oil supply can be changed

Adjustable Maximum Oil Flow Control

For Auxiliary Circuits 1 & 2 (Optional)
The maximum oil flow settings of both circuits are
conveniently adjustable from the digital panel –
no additional tools or complex manual adjusting
procedures are necessary. You can even program
up to five oil flow rates corresponding to specific
attachments into memory on the digital panel.

Load Sensing Hydraulic System Auto-shift

Kubota’s improved 3-pump load sensing hydraulic system ensures The auto-shift system enables automatic travel shift from high
smoother operation, regardless of load size. It allows hydraulic oil to to low depending on traction effort and terrain. This gives

Automatic regeneration mode

The automatic regeneration system
automatically burns particulate
matter (soot) that accumulates in
the diesel particulate filter (DPF)
muffler. The soot is burned when
the engine is operating at sufficient
engine speed for regeneration. If
the engine speed is lower than the
required level for regeneration, the
Service Mode Warning Mode indicator requests an increase in
the engine speed to keep the
accumulation level low and the DPF
clean. A service call or DPF filter
replacement is required when the
accumulated soot reaches a level
that reduces the engine speed.
