Heli-portable excavators - Kubota KH41 and KX41

The KX41 is suited to up-slope or down-slope trail building (ATV access to work areas), trenching and drill pad construction. For trail construction the KX41 is workable up-slope at grades to 25%. Slopes to 50% are accessible if ground conditions are good, ie) no leaning and fairly smooth. GVW approximately 3,500 lb.

The KH41 is heli-portable and is suited to trenching in remote areas, drill pad construction and trail building down-slope. The picture below is of a side-hill trench/trail. Subcrop and bedrock was sampled along the inside edge of the trench/trail.
