17V5
The KATO 17V5 Mini Excavator combines zero tail swing performance, increased digging force, and responsive hydraulics in a compact, stable design. With a 10% boost in digging power and a fast-acting 4-pump hydraulic system, the 17V5 is perfect for construction, landscaping, utilities, and tight-space excavation where precision and maneuverability are critical.
Designed for comfort and efficiency, the 17V5 features smooth hydraulic pilot controls, a fuel-efficient Yanmar engine, and an ergonomic operating space. Safety features such as an auto-parking brake and neutral engine-start system prevent operational errors, while the offset boom and strong breakout force allow for precise digging, skimming, and loading in confined areas.
