The 74.3-gross horsepower SVL75 boasts a 2,814 kilogram bucket breakout force and a 2,213 kilogram lifting capacity. The SVL75 is powered by a four-cylinder, direct injection, turbo-charged Kubota diesel engine. Kubota's versatile compact track loader is equipped with a rigid-mount undercarriage and a vertical lift designed for long reach and maximum lifting and dumping capabilities.

The SVL75 features a full hydraulic pilot operated system allowing the operator precise control of both the drive system and front working attachments.

One of the features that set the SVL75 apart from its opposition is the inclusion of the Engine Stall Guard which ensures that the engine will not stall even under the harshest of work conditions. Engine Stall Guard creates outstanding traction allowing operators to keep on working in testing conditions. The drive system features as standard a two-speed travel switch allowing the operator to shift between a low of 7.5 km/h and high of 11.5 km/h to get the job done faster. The machine also features Kubota's Unique Vertical Lift Design to deliver an exceptionally long reach of 1059 mm. In addition the tip of the arm is shaped to allow lifting over 3 metres. The SVL75 also features as standard a self levelling function to keep the bucket or forks in the horizontal position without the need for the operator to constantly adjust the angle during lifting.

Exceptional Comfort and Stability
The new Kubota SVL75 compact track loaders offer a wide cab entrance and a spacious, comfortable operator area. The roomy operator area features a high-back, fully adjustable suspension seat and ample leg room. A hand-and-foot throttle ensures exceptional convenience. The SVL75 is equipped with two-speed travel and high ground clearance for optimal travel performance on rough construction site terrain. The overall design is built to ensure stability and comfort in uneven terrain.

The pressurised Air Conditioned Cab allows the operator to work in comfort whilst reducing the noise and keeping dust and flying debris from entering the cab. A sliding front window that can be opened regardless of the position the front attachment gives the operator the ability to communicate easily with others and allows the operator to safely exit in an emergency.

Easy Maintenance and Durability

Daily maintenance checks for engine oil dipstick, fuel filter, water/fuel, air cleaner and coolant level are simple, and greasing the machine is also easy with all grease fittings accessible from ground level. A slide-and-tilt radiator and oil cooler are simple to reach because it requires the removal of only four bolts to be tilted for easy cleaning. In addition, Kubota's compact track loaders were designed to sustain hard work and heavy loads; the main frame and undercarriage are a one-piece, welded unit to provide uncompromised structural strength.
