Kubota SVL75-3 compact track loader headed Down Under

First unveiled at the CONEXPO/CON-AGG show in Las Vegas last year, Kubota’s brand new SVL75-3 will replace the SVL75-2 and presents a whole range of performance, comfort and productivity features, Kubota said.

Kubota Australia has confirmed the new model will arrive at local dealerships in early 2024.

The SVL75-3 is powered by a new Tier 4 Final/Stage 5 compliant Kubota engine that offers nine per cent higher torque than its predecessor, Kubota said, allowing for quick and efficient work.

The SVL75-3 has a Rated Operating Capacity (ROC) of 1129kg at 35 per cent load, compared to 1043kg on the SVL75-2. Hinge pin lift height has increased from 3025mm to 3117mm, while travel speed has gone up to 13.7km/h from 11.5km/h.

The SVL75-3’s hydraulic system features an innovative Advanced Multifunction Valve (AMV) that helps to ensure smooth movement of all hydraulic functions when operated simultaneously allowing operators to run the auxiliary hydraulics, bucket and loader arm functions at the same time with a lower risk of stalling.

The hydraulic flow on the SVL75-3 is now 72.7l/min compared to 66.0l/min on the predecessor model, meaning operators can run more attachments at full performance on a standard flow model. A high-flow model provides 112.8l/min of flow.

Updated travel features include faster two-speed travel and the Advanced Auto Downshift system from Kubota compact excavators that automatically downshifts from high to low gear while making turns, immediately providing the maximum amount of torque needed when exiting a turn. Operators also have the ability to change their travel response sensitivity with the choice of three track response settings: mild, normal and quick.

The SVL75-3 is equipped with Kubota’s new one-piece sealed cab that helps prevent dirt, dust, rain and debris from entering the operator space while also reducing noise levels. The sliding front door allows easy entry and exit and can be opened regardless of the position of the bucket or loader arms, and machine operation is possible with the door open.

Front and rear LED work lights and a large upper windshield allows for increased operator visibility.

A new 7-inch color LCD touch panel with jog dial comes standard in the SVL75-3 and is positioned to the front right of the operator for easy access. The LCD panel gives operators access to a wide range of functions and vital information, like battery charge, hydraulic oil and coolant temperature, auxiliary mode and fuel level, and is also where the standard rear- view camera is displayed.

Additional features include keyless engine start, with the ability to save up to 51 user passcodes, and a new integrated Bluetooth radio that provides seamless streaming and hands-free calling, available in closed cab models only.

Maintenance has also been made simpler for operators with easy access to the engine compartment, battery and fluid filters, while the radiator and oil cooler are conveniently located on top of the engine compartment for cleaning and routine maintenance. An optional reversing fan helps to keep the radiator intake free of dust and debris to ensure optimal air flow.

The one-piece sealed cabin can be tilted up 56.5 inches without having to lift the boom, providing access to the hydraulic pumps, valves, lines and hydraulic tank.
