2.7-Ton Mini Excavator with Kubota D1105 Diesel, Climate Cab & Retractable Metal Tracks
The TYPHON KUVUO 2.7 is an advanced 2.7-ton (5,300 lb) compact excavator engineered for demanding excavation, utility installation, site preparation, and foundation footings where high breakout power and operator comfort are paramount.
At the machine's core is an authentic Japanese Kubota D1105 three-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine delivering 25 HP at 2,200 RPM. This proven industrial powertrain drives a high-efficiency load-sensing hydraulic system with proportional pilot joystick controls, delivering smooth, simultaneous multi-function arm, boom, and bucket articulation.
Built for year-round commercial productivity, the KUVUO 2.7 features a fully enclosed operator cabin equipped with factory-integrated climate control (air conditioning and heater), 360-degree tempered safety glass, sound-dampening insulation, and bright LED exterior job lights.
For superior worksite versatility, the undercarriage incorporates hydraulically retractable heavy-duty metal tracks. Operators can narrow the machine width to squeeze through restricted gates and alleys, then extend the tracks for rock-solid stability during high-reach dumping and deep trenching. Independent boom swing articulation enables precise digging directly flush against existing walls and fence lines.
4 critical engineering decisions that translate into lower operating costs and higher jobsite throughput.

Clear dimension clearances, trailer towing parameters, and auxiliary attachment options.
Operating dimensions: Approximately 13.5 ft transport length × 39.4 in to 51.2 in retractable width × 7.9 ft total height. Tail swing radius allows confident operation in confined urban parcels.
At 5,300 lbs operating weight and a sub-40-inch retracted track width, the KUVUO 2.7 transports readily on a standard tandem-axle utility or equipment trailer behind a 1/2-ton or 3/4-ton pickup truck.
Equipped with factory pre-plumbed dual-action auxiliary hydraulic lines, the KUVUO 2.7 seamlessly operates hydraulic thumbs, post hole augers, breaker hammers, tilting grading buckets, and trenching buckets.
