Big lift, big breakout — pallets of patio stone all day long.

The SVL97-3 steps up to 96.5 HP, a 3,459 lb rated operating capacity, and 7,646 lbf of breakout force, well above the SVL75-3's 2,490 lb and 6,191 lbf. That extra capacity is the difference between moving a pallet of patio stone occasionally and moving pallets of it all day without the machine feeling maxed out.
It depends on the material volumes you're moving. If you're regularly handling heavy hardscaping materials, large bulk bags, or bigger attachments, the SVL97-3's higher capacity keeps the machine from being the bottleneck. For lighter, more general work, the SVL75-3 or SVL65-2 may be a more efficient fit.
The SVL97-3 runs 96.5 HP, giving it enough hydraulic capacity for demanding attachments like larger buckets, grapples, and land-clearing tools. It's the second-largest engine in the SVL lineup, behind only the SVL110-3.
The SVL97-3 is available in both an open canopy and an enclosed cab configuration — cab isn't the only option on this size, the same as the mid-size SVL75-3. When it's ordered with the enclosed cab, Kubota builds it as a sealed, one-piece cab for a cleaner, quieter work environment, but exact pressurization and filtration specs should still be confirmed on the current spec sheet before we quote it to a customer.
