The KX040-4 and the SV40 both have a lot to offer. The unique Kubota engine in the KX040-4 is powered by a modern Tier 4 design. The modern Tier 4 engine maximizes digging and lifting performance, minimizes noise and vibration and meets the latest engine emission regulation. While the Yanmar SV40 has a Yanmar Tier 4 Final engine, it is lacking when it comes to horsepower. The SV40 has 39 horsepower and can’t give you the power that the KX040-4 can give you with it’s 40.4 horsepower. The power of the Kubota KX040-4 doesn’t end at the engine and horsepower though! 

The KX040-4 is equipped with two speed travel that the SV40 can’t keep up with. Kubota’s two speed travel allows your compact excavator to have two speed drive to create efficient maneuverability and backfill operations. A powerful engine and remarkable speed get the job done, but the operator must always be a priority too! The Yanmar SV40 doesn’t focus on the operator like the Kubota KX040-4 does. Comfortability in the KX040-4 goes above and beyond with a spacious operator station and a fully flat floorboard for the operator to have extra legroom. Comfort keeps on going in the Kubota KX040-4 with easy cab entry/exit, easy-open front slide window, deluxe suspension seat, wrist rest and a cup holder!
