KATO unveiled the all-new V-5 line in 2021, and the new iteration is headlined by the new 50V-5. The 12 foot, 7 inch dig-depth machine weighs in at an easily towable 10,830 pounds. The 44 horsepower Kubota engine delivers a powerful 9,100 pounds of breakout force at the bucket. The entire V-5 line offers comfortable operator spaces in multiple configurations for open canopy or cabin, industry-leading strength and stability from tracks to bucket, and large and accessible compartments for service and maintenance.
While the 45V-4 and 55V-4 machines were extremely popular in their class, the 50V-5 delivers more power and dig-depth than the 45V-4, while better meeting the towing requirements for many independent rental houses. This value-driven design delivers even stronger ROI for rental fleets and contractors.
