Now, we are taking the familiar performance you know and love and taking it to the next level with the KX040-5. Boasting a wider cab with extended foot space for increased comfort, reduced noise levels and improved A/C flow, this machine can be trusted to get the job done right. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it – redefine it.

Features may include:

This unique feature lets you control oil flow and customize up to five different preset attachment flows on your KX040-5. Use the digital panel to conveniently adjust the maximum oil flow setting so you are always in control. Plus, one-way flow can be set through the monitor, eliminating the need for manual operation under the bonnet. Single auxiliaries with a diverter valve or dual auxiliaries are available to best suit your needs.

When the excavator’s control levers remain in neutral for over four seconds, the Auto Idle system will intuitively lower the engine RPM. The engine will automatically ramp back up to normal RPM levels upon lever movement. For further energy conservation, the Engine Auto Stop will shut off your engine automatically after prolonged idling, with customizable time limits.
