About Hazeland Manufacturing/Hydro-Spade
For more than two decades, Hazeland Manufacturing, operating as Hydro-Spade, has been designing and building reliable, high-performance hydrovac trailers.
Their equipment supports contractors and municipalities across North America, providing an efficient and environmentally responsible way to excavate and expose underground utilities.
Hydrovac trailers operate in tough, demanding conditions – often on jobsites that require consistent power, minimal downtime and dependable cold-weather performance. That’s why, since the early 2000s, Hydro-Spade has turned to Kubota engines as the trusted power source for their builds.
The Challenge
Before adopting Kubota engines, Hazeland Manufacturing needed an engine partner that could provide consistent quality, proven reliability and easy service accessibility. Hydrovac trailers depend on steady, efficient power for both vacuum and water systems, meaning the engine must deliver not only horsepower but also long-term durability in heavy-duty, high-runtime applications.
Downtime wasn’t an option, and parts availability was a major factor. With customers working in the field every day, having access to quick service and replacement components was essential. This made a strong distributor relationship especially important, as Hazeland required a partner who could respond quickly and provide knowledgeable support for any project need.
The Kubota Solution
Hazeland Manufacturing found the perfect fit in Kubota’s V2403 and V3307 industrial diesel engines.
These compact, high-output engines deliver the balance of power, torque and efficiency that hydrovac systems demand. Built for durability and ease of integration, they offered a smooth fit into Hydro-Spade’s trailer designs with minimal engineering adjustments.
One of the key benefits that sealed the decision was Kubota’s extensive service network. With authorized service centers located within about an hour of most towns, Hydro-Spade’s customers can count on quick, local support – a vital advantage for equipment that’s constantly on the move.
Hazeland’s long-time Kubota distributor, M-K Power Products, plays a major role in this accessibility. Their team provides fast answers, reliable guidance and solutions-focused support, ensuring Hazeland always has the expertise they need.
Hazeland’s team cites Kubota’s reliability, ease of maintenance, and consistent engine performance as major contributors to their long-term partnership. They also credit their ongoing relationship with M-K Power for helping keep projects moving smoothly and ensuring customers receive dependable service wherever they operate.
The Results
After 20+ years of working with Kubota engines and their authorized distributor, Hydro-Spade continues to see the payoff in the field. Their trailers maintain exceptional uptime and long service life, thanks to engines built to handle demanding, debris-heavy environments.
Operators benefit from smooth, efficient power and reduced maintenance interruptions, while Hazeland Manufacturing benefits from an engine partner whose quality matches their own manufacturing standards.
The partnership has also helped the company maintain customer trust – ensuring each Hydro-Spade unit delivers its promise of strength, safety and reliability.
Looking Ahead
With the ongoing success of the Hydro-Spade lineup, Hazeland Manufacturing plans to continue integrating Kubota power into future designs. From the V2403 to the V3307, these engines continue to represent the company’s commitment to performance backed by dependable service. For Hazeland Manufacturing, it’s simple: Kubota engines power the confidence that keeps Hydro-Spade trailers working day after day – job after job.
