Why a Used Kubota Excavator Might Be Your Best Investment in 2024

Smart Contractors Are Saving Thousands with Pre-Owned Kubota Machines

Think buying a new excavator is the only way to guarantee performance and reliability? Think again. In 2024, construction companies are getting smarter with their budgets—and choosing used Kubota excavators to get the job done. Why? Because you can get 90% of the power for 50% of the cost—without sacrificing quality, durability, or tech.

Here’s the harsh truth: many contractors spend over $25,000 more than necessary on underperforming machines, or wait 6+ months for new deliveries due to global backlogs. The smarter move? A certified pre-owned Kubota KX040-4 or U35-4—backed by warranty, tech diagnostics, and expert inspection.

Top Reasons to Buy a Used Kubota Excavator in 2024

1. Legendary Durability & Compact Performance

Kubota excavators are engineered for longevity, especially in tight urban job sites. Models like the U35-4 offer:

• Fuel-efficient engines saving up to $1,200/year
• 10,000+ hour-tested hydraulics
• Zero-tail swing design ideal for compact construction work
• Built-in diagnostics and operator-friendly controls

While competitors lose up to 40% value in 3 years, Kubota holds strong—making it one of the best resale value brands in the mini-excavator segment.

2. Beat Supply Chain Delays—Buy Ready-to-Ship Stock

Wait times for new equipment have stretched to 6–8 months for many brands. But at Zekun Machinery, our used Kubota excavators are fully inspected, refurbished, and ready to ship globally in just 2 weeks.

3. Kubota Technology Pays for Itself

Even 3–5 year-old Kubota models feature telematics and intelligent alert systems. That means:

• Real-time alerts for oil pressure or overheating
• Avoid costly engine failures with early warnings
• Maintenance reminders that extend machine life

A $200 sensor fix today could save you $5,000 in repairs later—a win-win for uptime and your bottom line.

4. Resale Value That Outperforms

Consider this:

• New KX040-4 price (2024): $85,000
• 3-year-old unit (2021): $42,500
• 2026 resale value: $35,000+

That’s a net depreciation of just $7,500—compared to $20,000+ loss with a new machine. It’s no wonder that over 72% of Zekun buyers reinvest the savings into additional equipment.
