Description
The Kubota RT-280-2 Wheel Loader starts with a powerful Stage V diesel engine and hydrostatic 4‑wheel drive that work together to give you smooth, confident performance across construction sites, farms and industrial yards. Because the engine delivers about 37 kW (~50 PS) of dependable power, you feel strong torque and efficient fuel use from the first start of the day. Likewise, the articulated chassis responds with precise steering that keeps you agile in tight corners and rough terrain.
Furthermore, this loader stands out for its heavy‑duty lift capability. With up to ~1600 kg lifting capacity in a straight position and a hinge pin height near ~2517 mm, it handles large pallets, heavy materials and bulky loads without hesitation. And because the hydrostatic transmission gives smooth speed control with a single pedal, you stay productive while maintaining full command of travel and attachments.
Moreover, Kubota designs the RT‑280‑2 with operator comfort and usability in mind. You get excellent all‑around visibility and ergonomic control placement so you can monitor loads and work zones without strain. Also, canopy, folding canopy or fully enclosed cab options let you tailor the machine to your conditions, while features like air‑suspension seats and multi‑function levers help reduce fatigue on long shifts.
Finally, safety and versatility come together in this model’s robust feature set. ISO‑certified ROPS/FOPS protection, bright LED warning beacons and reversing alarms help protect people and property around the machine. In addition, Kubota’s auxiliary hydraulic circuits and hydraulic hitch let you switch between buckets, forks and other implements quickly, so you can take on a wider range of jobs with one reliable loader.
