Powerful Performance

Powered by the proven Kubota D722 three-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine, delivering 10.2 kW (13.9 HP) of reliable power. Known for smooth operation, durability, and easy serviceability, it provides consistent performance for a wide range of small excavation jobs.

Double-sided pilot operation

Equipped with dual pilot joystick controls for smooth, precise operation and reduced operator fatigue. The right armrest console features an integrated multifunction digital display that provides key machine information at a glance, including engine speed, fuel level, oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature alerts. This allows operators to easily monitor machine performance and maintain the equipment proactively.

Foldable Dozer Blade and Retractable Tracks - For Hard to Reach Places

The machine features a dozer blade with adjustable swing-out extensions designed to match the width of the retractable tracks. When the tracks are extended, the blade widens to provide full ground coverage for improved stability, grading performance, and backfilling efficiency. When the tracks are retracted for compact operation or transport, the blade can be folded inward to reduce overall machine width. This design allows the excavator to maintain excellent working stability while still remaining narrow enough to pass through tight access points and fit easily onto trailers or transport vehicles.

Multipurpose Tool Carrier

The R15-5 is designed to work as a true multipurpose tool carrier. With auxiliary hydraulics and a quick-attach system, the machine can easily run a wide range of attachments including buckets, augers, grapples, trenchers, and breakers. This flexibility allows operators to handle excavation, landscaping, property maintenance, fencing, and utility work with a single compact machine.
