XCMG XE27U Mini Excavator — KUBOTA Diesel Power + Smooth, High-Pressure Hydraulics (2.7-Ton Class)
If you want a mini that feels like a “name brand” machine the second you put your hands on the controls, the XCMG XE27U is it. You get Kubota Tier 4 Final diesel reliability up front, a load-sensing, variable-displacement piston pump for smooth multi-function operation, serious 3,524 PSI working pressure, and a stable undercarriage that’s built to take daily contractor abuse.
This is a money-maker for utility trenching, irrigation, landscaping, concrete prep, drainage work, light demolition, and tight-access excavation—with the power and control you need to finish faster and cleaner.

Lifting Notes:
Ratings based on ISO10567.
“*” indicates max lift limited by hydraulics rather than tipping load.
On level, firm ground: lift capacity doesn’t exceed 87% of hydraulic capacity or 75% of tipping load.
Follow local safety regulations; operator should be familiar with operation/maintenance manuals.
Diagrams cover machines originally built by XCMG without chains/extra lifting equipment.
Lifting/handling materials must comply with local regulations.
