The most popular SVL — the landscaper's default track loader.
At 73.2 HP with a 2,490 lb rated operating capacity and 6,191 lbf of breakout force, it hits the size that covers the widest range of landscaping and light construction work without stepping up to a larger, heavier machine. For a contractor putting only one loader on the trailer, this is usually the size that wins.
The SVL75-3's 73.2 HP and 6,191 lbf breakout force cover most mid-size attachments like buckets, forks, brush cutters, and augers comfortably. For high-flow attachments like larger mulchers or cold planers, the SVL97-3 or SVL110-3 have more hydraulic capacity to spare.
The SVL75-3 carries 2,490 lb versus the SVL65-2's 2,100 lb, with more breakout force as well (6,191 lbf vs 4,614 lbf). That extra margin shows up day to day in heavier pallets, bigger buckets of material, and attachments that need more hydraulic muscle.
Yes, Kubota's SVL series is built around a vertical lift path, which keeps the bucket or attachment closer to the machine through the full lift rather than swinging out and away as it would with an older radial-lift design. That matters most when loading trucks or reaching over obstacles, where a vertical path keeps the load and the machine's stability more predictable.
As a tracked machine, the SVL75-3 spreads its weight over a wider footprint than a wheeled skid steer, giving it lower ground pressure. That makes it a better fit than wheels for finished lawns, wet or soft ground, and jobsites where rutting is a concern.
