It wasn’t just the excellent reviews and relatively affordable price of the Kubota U17 that made us decide to use it for our basement waterproofing services.

While those things certainly helped, what ultimately made the decision for us was how much we knew it would help us provide the best possible basement repair and foundation waterproofing services.  It’s light weight, the track fits through backyard gates, it’s not loud and it’s very reliable.

WHAT IS THE KUBOTA U17?

The U17 is a mini excavator by Kubota, a manufacturer of top of the line equipment since 1890.

The Kubota U17 is the #1 selling compact excavators in the world, for good reason!

WHAT MAKES THE KUBOTA U17 BEST FOR BASEMENT WATERPROOFING?

One of the things we pride ourselves on when it comes to our basement repair and foundation waterproofing services is the lengths we go to minimize the impact on your property.

The Kubota 17 helps us with this due to its:

  1. Zero Tail Overhang.Since the tail does not swing, there is much less risk of impacting anything behind or to the side of us while we dig around your foundation walls.

  2. Variable Track Width.Using a special lever, we can adjust the width of the track between 3 feet 3 inches and 4 feet 1 inch. This allows us to better navigate narrow spaces and better overall maneuverability while operating on your property.

In short; the Kubota 17 is perfect for tight spaces.

Another way Foundation Waterproofing By Moe stands apart from our competitors is how efficiently and effectively we are able to complete any foundation repair job.

Our Kubota 17 aids in this with its:

  1. Famously reliable 17 HP engine. The tier 4 Diesel engine offers greater efficiency while also offering lower noise and vibrations compared to other excavators.

  2. Two speed travel capability. This makes operating the Kubota 17 faster, easier and safer.

In short, as Kubota puts it themselves:

“This mini-excavator delivers the power you need, the control you want and the smoothest performance when you need it most.”
