The entry SVL — full-size capability on a friendlier footprint.
The SVL65-2 has a rated operating capacity of 2,100 lb, backed by 4,614 lbf of breakout force from a 68.4 HP engine. That's enough to move pallets, run a snowblower attachment, or handle firewood and stone on a property or small acreage.
Yes. It's positioned as Kubota's entry-size SVL, giving full-size track loader capability on a friendlier, more manageable footprint. It suits property owners who plow their own lane, feed an outdoor wood boiler, or handle occasional landscaping and snow work rather than running it daily on jobsites.
Yes — an enclosed, air-conditioned Closed CAB is available as a factory option on the SVL65-2 itself, not only on its sibling. The base SVL65-2 ships standard with an open cab, with Closed CAB as the upgrade; the newer SVL65-2S offers that same open/closed cab choice but adds comfort and tech refinements like an LCD touch-panel dash, keyless passcode start, and a standard rearview camera. If weather protection matters, either model can be spec'd with the enclosed cab — compare the comfort/tech package, not cab availability, before deciding.
At 68.4 HP, the SVL65-2 has enough hydraulic power for common attachments like buckets, pallet forks, snowblowers, and augers. For higher-demand attachments like mulchers or cold planers, a larger SVL such as the SVL97-3 or SVL110-3 is the better match.
Tracks spread the machine's weight over a much larger footprint than wheels, so a track loader like the SVL65-2 puts down lower ground pressure. That means less rutting and less damage to lawns or yards when working on soft ground, wet fields, or a finished property.
