Common Rail System and Diesel Particulate Filter

(DPF) Muffler

The Common Rail System (CRS) electronically controls the fuel

injection timing and amount in stages rather than all at once for

optimal combustion. The results are greater efficiency, better fuel

economy and less engine noise. Its combination with the Exhaust

Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler

reduces harmful emissions to make the KX040-4 Tier IV-compliant.

Spacious Cab

Designed for greater comfort, the large cab with a fully flat floor

provides more legroom to minimize fatigue.

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 prone to fires.

the environment.

For tough digging applications, use Standard Mode and experience

a 3% productivity improvement over the prior model and use less
