Kubota SVL97-2 CTL breaks cover
New compact track loader offers cleaner engine and improved sealing for better power and comfort, Kubota saidKubota said its new SVL97-2 will offer everything the previous SVL95-2 model is known for, including best-in-class bucket breakout force; exceptional lifting capacity; front sliding window and ergonomic operator cabins; plus a handful of upgrades.
Some of the new features include a clean-burning Tier-4 Final 96.4hp Kubota engine and a redesigned diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank.
“DEF tank capacity has decreased in size from 18.5 litres to 12 litres in volume to improve longevity and minimise DEF deterioration, while the redesigned lockable DEF fuel cover eliminates the risk of accidental diesel fill ups,” said Kubota Assistant Product Manager, Nathan Thomas.
“Modifications to the brackets and the repositioning of the clamps on the DEF harness improves durability by reducing possible friction and vibration damage ensuring longevity.”
The updated model also features improved cabin sealing to increase cabin pressure and keep dust out, Kubota added.
“The addition of grommets on the cabin floor further increases cabin pressure, ensuring a cleaner cabin environment and better air conditioning,” Thomas said.
The outer cover of the hydraulic oil tank gauge, prone to dust build up, has also been removed to enhance operator visibility when checking the hydraulic oil level.
“We are excited to bring the SVL97-2 to the track loader line-up,” Thomas said.
“After listening to customer feedback, we have kept the best features and concentrated on improving quality and function to provide a comfortable and reliable user experience.”
