At Union Farm Equipment, we know choosing equipment is about more than horsepower. You need a machine that matches your typical workload, attachments, jobsite conditions and budget. This Kubota track loader comparison breaks down the current SVL lineup to help you narrow down your options.

Kubota SVL65-2:
A Versatile Starting Point

The SVL65-2 is the smallest model in Union Farm Equipment's current Kubota track loader lineup, but that doesn't mean it's short on capability.

With 68.4 horsepower and a 2,100-lb. rated operating capacity, the SVL65-2 is designed to handle a wide range of everyday jobs. Its vertical-lift design makes it particularly useful when loading material into trucks or trailers, while its compact footprint can be helpful when working around buildings, landscaping projects and tighter jobsites.

The SVL65-2 can also be equipped with an optional high-flow hydraulic system, increasing auxiliary hydraulic flow from 18.5 to 28.1 gpm.

For many property owners and smaller contractors, the SVL65-2 can provide the right balance of size and capability.

Choose the SVL65-2 if: You need a versatile track loader for general construction, landscaping, property work and material handling.

Kubota SVL75-3:
Step Up in Performance

The SVL75-3 moves up from the SVL65-2 with increased horsepower and lifting performance.

Its 71.6-hp engine provides a little more power, while its 2,490-lb. rated operating capacity gives you additional capability when moving heavier loads. The SVL75-3 also has more breakout force and traction than the SVL65-2.

Optional high-flow hydraulics increase auxiliary hydraulic flow to 29.8 gpm, making the SVL75-3 a versatile choice for customers who plan to use hydraulic attachments.

The SVL75-3 is a good middle ground for customers who want more performance but don't necessarily need a large-frame track loader.

Choose the SVL75-3 if: You want more lifting and breakout capability while staying in a mid-size track loader.

Kubota SVL97-2:
Heavy-Duty Capability

The SVL97-2 takes a significant step up in size and performance.

With 96.4 horsepower and a 3,459-lb. rated operating capacity, the SVL97-2 is designed for heavier work than the SVL65-2 and SVL75-3. It also produces substantially more traction and breakout force, making it better suited for demanding construction, excavation and material-handling applications.

The SVL97-2 can also be equipped with high-flow hydraulics, giving it the ability to run demanding hydraulic attachments.

If your work has moved beyond what a mid-size track loader can comfortably handle, the SVL97-2 is worth considering.

Choose the SVL97-2 if: Your work requires substantially more power, traction and lifting capacity, particularly for demanding construction applications.

Kubota SVL97-3:
For Heavy-Duty Work

The SVL97-3 is the newer generation of the SVL97 platform and adds updated features and technology. Kubota's current SVL information lists features such as a 7-inch LCD monitor, rearview camera and Kubota WorkSmart Telematics on applicable models, while the SVL97-2 is excluded from some of these newer standard features.

The SVL97-3 also offers variable hydraulic flow functionality with its high-flow system, allowing operators to adjust auxiliary hydraulic flow for the attachment being used.

If you're comparing the SVL97-2 and SVL97-3, your decision may come down less to basic lifting capacity and more to the features, technology and configuration you want in your machine.

Choose the SVL97-3 if: You want the performance of a 96-hp-class track loader along with newer technology and features.

The SVL110-3 is also designed for demanding hydraulic applications. Its auxiliary hydraulic flow is rated at 45.0 gpm, giving operators substantial hydraulic power for compatible attachments.

The SVL110-3 makes the most sense when productivity and performance are priorities and your work can take advantage of the machine's additional capability.
