KUBOTA WHEEL LOADERS
Built with versatility in mind, the R Series works most efficiently on any job that requires a wheel loader, from farming to construction.
SPECIFICATIONS
KEY FEATURES
Efficiency and comfort are the stand-out features of Kubota’s all-new R530 wheel loader, with a powerful engine, superior maneuverability, and a spacious cab. An optimum balance of power, functionality and performance lets you work more efficiently.
Key Features:
Articulation and Frame Oscillation:
Our wheel loaders are most often operated in heavy terrain and we include the features for top performance. Articulation allows the rear tires to follow the same track path as the front tires for greater maneuverability and control of the loader. Rear frame oscillation is intentionally chosen over rear axle oscillation for superior work-ability in uneven ground conditions.
Hybrid Link Design:
The well balanced cylinder position of the Kubota Z link system combines the advantages of both Z link and parallel link systems. You get strong bucket force when excavating and grading, and a lift path almost parallel to the ground for superior reach and lifting.
Multi-function Control Lever:
You’ll get more work done in less time with the R530’s multi-function operating lever. All major loader functions—Speed Up/Down, Forward / Reverse, Neutral, and Differential Lock— are on a single lever that is easy to operate with just one hand. The 2-step Speed Up/Down buttons let you quickly change speeds and work at the optimum speed for the task at hand.
Differential Lock:
100% On-Demand, Front and Rear
Kubota’s 4-wheel drive lets you out-muscle challenging terrain, such as mud, sand, and snow. When loose or soft terrain causes the wheels to lose grip, depress the conveniently located differential lock switch to restore traction.
Control Lever Locks:
The loader and auxiliary hydraulics levers are equipped with safety lookouts as standard equipment to prevent inadvertent lever movement.
Auxiliary Ports:
Conveniently located on the rear of the attachment quick coupler, flat face, no drip couplers provide easy access to power your hydraulic attachments. Auxiliary ports are plumbed separately from hydraulic quick coupler plumbing.
Hydraulic Quick Coupler:
Quickly and conveniently exchange attachments to satisfy the needs of most any job. Choose between hydraulic skid steer style (shown) or hook and pin style couplers to speed you on your way. Control plumbing is standard on all models.
Quick Coupler Attachment Unlock Switch:
Save time and money exchanging attachments without leaving the seat. The attachment unlock switch safely speeds your way through attachment exchanges with the flick of a switch and the push of a lever.
Cab with Air Conditioning:
Your job is tough enough-your cab environment shouldn’t be. We focused our efforts on creating a cab that maintains your peak performance all day long. The result? A factory cab that offers a clear field of view, a fully adjustable suspension seat, air conditioning and heat, low sound, minimal vibration, and more.
ISO Mounted Canopy / Cab:
Comfortable operators are so much more productive at the end of the day. R530 operator exposure to noise and vibration is reduced by isolating the cab from the machine frame using isolation mounts.
Strong Air Circulation:
The overall air circulation in the cab has been improved, thanks to a stronger cooling/heating unit and the positioning of vents all around the operator to offer better all-round comfort.
Full Featured Suspension Seat:
A full size suspension seat enhances operator comfort. The padded seat features fore and aft positioning, weight compensation, height adjustment, adjustable head rest, tilt back, and a left side arm rest for optimum comfort.
Tilt Steering:
With the flick of a lever, the steering wheel can be tilted up or down to the most comfortable and efficient position for drivers of all sizes.
ROPS / FOPS Certified Canopy / Cab:
Forged and attached at the Kubota factory, both the Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) meet the applicable ISO, SAE and OSHA standards.
Transportation Tie Downs:
With an overall height below 98”, the R530 slips easily under road bridges when transporting between job sites. Six tie-down points and an articulation lock allow simple attachment to a trailer for secure transportation.
Kubota Original Tier 4 Final Engine:
The R530 is powered by a robust 47.9 HP diesel engine. Built by Kubota, this reliable engine features low noise, low vibration, and low fuel consumption. Many of our competitors do not build their own wheel loaders nor use their own engines.
Common Rail Fuel System:
The Common Rail System electronically controls the fuel injection timing and amount in stages rather than all at once for optimal combustion. The results are great efficiency, better fuel economy and less engine noise. Its combination with the Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Muffler reduces emissions to make the R530 Tier IV Final compliant.

Multi-function Control Lever:
You’ll get more work done in less time with the R630’s multi-function operating lever. All major loader functions—Speed Up/Down, Forward / Reverse, Neutral, Differential Lock, and Auxiliary Hydraulics — are on a single lever that is easy to operate with just one hand. The 5-step Speed Up/Down buttons let you quickly change speeds and work at the optimum speed for the task at hand.
Adjustable Wrist Rest:
More than just a place to put your arm, the right-side wrist rest is an important factor in comfort during wheel loader operations. It reduces fatigue by reducing arm movement and allowing you to more easily operate the hand lever.
Multi-Speed Control:
The R630 travel speed can be set in five stages. Quickly change speeds and work at the optimum speed for the attachment mounted and task at hand. You can jump to the lowest or the highest travel speed when the speed change button is held for a few seconds.
E-HST 4 Mode Transmission:
The Kubota electronic HST offers you 4 different operating modes. The operator can quickly and easily choose the most suitable mode depending on the machine’s application.
Differential Lock: 100% On-Demand, Front and Rear
Kubota’s 4-wheel drive lets you out-muscle challenging terrain, such as mud, sand, and snow. When loose or soft terrain causes the wheels to lose grip, depress the conveniently located differential lock switch to restore traction.
Wet Disk Brakes:
The wet disk brake system prevents mud and water contamination and ensures stable brake performance and long reliability. The adoption of independent friction plates on the service brakes and the parking brakes provides reliability and durability in tough operating conditions.
Parking Brake:
The electrically activated mechanical parking brake can be applied or released simply by pressing the switch. It prevents the machine from moving until you give the command.
Auxiliary Ports:
Conveniently located on the rear of the attachment quick coupler flat face, no drip couplers provide easy access to power your hydraulic attachments. Auxiliary ports are plumbed separately from hydraulic quick coupler plumbing.

E-HST 4 Mode Transmission:
The Kubota electronic HST offers you 4 different operating modes. The operator can quickly and easily choose the most suitable mode depending on the machine’s application.
- Normal mode is the default and the machine starts that way. Experience plenty of power and speed for most all job functions.
- Attachment mode allows operators to independently control travel speed and auxiliary hydraulic flow. Attachment mode is ideal for brooms, sweepers, or other hydraulic motor function attachments for the front loader.
- Select Eco mode to reduce fuel consumption, up to 15%, by limiting the engine rpm. This mode is exchanging high traction force for handling material in the yard or load and carry functions for fuel savings.
- Select Power mode when you need strong traction force. This mode reduces travel speed so that the machine can provide up to an additional 40% traction force, ideal for excavating.
