All year round, no matter whatthe weather outside, the KX161-3S’s climate-controlledcab will keep you comfortable and working at peakefficiency.User-friendly operation1. Simple forefinger operationUsed for some special applications that require continuous oil flow, suchas a brush cutter. The on/off button controlled by the forefinger reducesoperator fatigue.2. Short stroke operating leversThe operating levers require less effort and shorter movements, ensuringimproved control, responsiveness and comfort, and reduced operatorfatigue. Only a flick of the wrist is needed for smooth excavator operation.3. Proportional flow auxiliary switchA convenient bi-directional switch enables easy operation of hydraulicthumbs and other hydraulic attachments such as augers and breakers.4. 2-speed travel switchThe 2-speed travel switch is mounted on the dozer lever for easyoperation and control, and advanced, user-friendly travel speed changes.2134

The power and versatility to takeon a variety of tough jobs.571524201090Wide working rangeThe KX161-3S’s powerful and responsive front workinggroup can handle all your digging, lifting, and loading jobs.With its large bucket capacity, long reach and formidabledigging depth, the KX161-3S meets or exceeds all jobrequirements on the construction site.4155Strong bucket breakoutEven when heavily loaded, the KX161-3S won’t slow down,thanks to its powerful breakout force. With the dedicated orquick coupler bucket, the bucket breakout force is morethan enough for even the toughest excavating jobs.2585383061306260

W O R K I N G P E R F O R M A N C EAdjustable maximum oil flow controlfor auxiliary portThe digital instrument panal lets you control the oil flowaccording to your needs or the attachment in use. Iteliminates the hassle of using tools to change settingsmanually, so you don’t have to leave the cabin. When using atilt bucket, you can slow the flow to get just the right control.Alternatively, for a brushcutter, direct the oil flow toone side of the excavatorarm. The system will evenstore your settings for thenext time you need it,saving time and quicklyregulating the flowrequirements. Adjustable oilflow enhances performanceand saves fuel.Digital panelA digital panel and the Kubota Intelligent Control System(KICS) help reduce excavator downtime and repair feesby providing accurate and timely diagnostic readings androutine maintenance alerts. The panel not only lets youknow when fuel is running low, but warns you duringrefueling when the tank is nearly full.Routine maintenance alert displayLow fuel displayAuto idling systemSave fuel with Kubota’s Auto Idle. When the controllevers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds, theengine RPM automatically idles. Move anycontrol lever and the engine RPM immediatelyreturns. This innovative feature reducesnoise and exhaust emissions whilereducing operating costs.Load sensing hydraulic systemYou no longer need to change lever strokes to adjust theamount of oil required for varying job loads—control valvesautomatically regulate and distribute the optimum amount of oilto each cylinder based on the weight of the load, resulting inperfectly matched speed, power, and cylinder timing. Even theslightest operator movements produce smooth andsimultaneous operation of the boom, arm, bucket and house.Extraordinary stability and lifting capacityInnovative counter balancing technology provides superiorexcavator stability. Long tumbler distance, a lower center ofgravity and Double Flanged Lower Track Rollers combine todeliver safe and effective performance when working to theside or with hydraulic attachments, or lifting heavy objects.Rear corner protectorsTwo heavy-duty protectors—one on each rear corner—protect the engine hood and side covers from damage whenworking in tight spaces.Auxiliary hydraulicsAuxiliary hydraulic hoses are routed to the arm toaccommodate a variety of attachments such as breakersand augers. The auxiliary hydraulic connections arelocated on the arm within easy reach and incorporateshort hoses that are less likely to become tangled ordamaged. The system includes bi-directional auxiliaryhydraulic controls and a control valve.

Simple maintenance keepsthe KX161-3S working longer.ROPS/FOPS canopy and cabThe ROPS/FOPS canopy and cab provide complete protectionfrom accidental rollovers and falling objects. Both are OSHAcertified to ensure an extra level of safety and security on the job.Two-piece hose designThe two-piece hose connections for the dozer and boomcylinder hoses simplify hose replacement and reduce downtime.Protected cylinder hosesThe bucket cylinder hoses are located inside the arm. And theboom cylinder hoses are routed under the boom bottom.Easy maintenanceThe KX161-3S is a breeze to maintain. The side and rearcovers open wide and the main components are centrallylocated, giving you quick and easy access to all vital areas,including the engine, fuel tank, water separator, radiator,coolant reservoir, air filter, control valve and hydraulic tank.Boom cylinder coverReinforced to provide maximum protection, the boom cylindercover features a thick, V-shape design that deflects accidentalcontacts from the hydraulic breaker tool and prevents damageto the boom cylinder rod.Centralized swivel bearing lubricationGrease ports for the swivel bearing, gear teeth, and swingcylinder pin are conveniently grouped on the front of the house.Front pin bushingsTo maximize durability, we’ve introduced bushings on all of thepivot points on the front attachment and connecting points onthe swing bracket.Third-line hydraulic returnWhen working with one-way hydraulicattachments, such as a breaker or brush cutter,the standard third-linehydraulic return system one wayallows oil to flow directlyback to the tank withoutrunning through thecontrol valves. Thiscontributes to less oilcontamination, reducedback pressure, andtwo waygreater oil flow efficiency.

Air conditioner filtercartridgeThe air conditioner filter cartridgefeatures a new frame which iseasy to access and slides out forcleaning and maintenance.SafetySafety is designed into every detail of the KX161-3S. AnEngine Start Lockout System prevents the engine fromstarting when the safety levers are lowered. A Safety LeverLockout System helps prevent unexpected excavator andattachment movement when entering or exiting the machine.An Auto House Parking Brake automatically locks the housein the position it was in when the engine was shut off,eliminating the need for a swing lock pin. It also makes theexcavator more compact during transport and more securewhen parked on an incline.AccumulatorThe accumulator makes replacing attachments safer and moreefficient. Turning the key to the “on” position clears residualpressure in the auxiliary hydraulic hose, preventing oil fromspewing out whenreplacing attachments.If the engine isaccidentally shut offwhile the frontattachment is raised,turning the key to the“on” position allows youto safely lower it.KX161-3S OPTIONS Buckets Travel alarm Canopy lights Quick couplerWORKING RANGEGHModelKX161-3SAMax. digging heightmm5715BMax. dumping heightmm4155CMax. digging depthmm3830ADMax. vertical digging depthmm2585EMax. digging radius, at ground levelmm6130BFMax. digging radiusmm6260GMin. turning radiusW/o swingWith swingmmmm24201955HMin. tail turning radiusmm1090CDLIFTING CAPACITYLIFTPOINTHEIGHT(m)LIFTING CAPACITYOVER THE FRONT, BLADE DOWNunit=tonLIFT POINT RADIUS (m)34MAXLIFTING CAPACITYOVER THE SIDEunit=tonLIFT POINT RADIUS (m)34MAXEFLift point radiusLift point32-1.350.881.050.890.93-1.350.880.910.650.64Lift point height11.901.261.011.310.870.62GL02.161.421.061.230.830.60Machine with ROPS canopy and rubber crawler, without bucketAxis of rotation
