Featuring a 48-inch-wide frame, the SVL50x is the smallest compact track loader in Kubota’s lineup and will be available at dealerships beginning in the first quarter of 2025.
“With the trend of putting more houses on less land, and the space between lots getting tighter and tighter, Kubota is filling a need in the market for a narrow, cabbed track loader among construction and landscaping professionals,” said Jerry Corder, Kubota product manager, construction equipment. “The new SVL50x gives operators a smaller, feature-packed machine, some of which have never been seen on a Kubota compact track loader.”
Available in four models ranging from an open (ROPS) station to a deluxe cab, the new SVL50x is powered by a 49.6 horsepower Kubota diesel engine and features a working range that includes a rated operating capacity of 1,176 pounds at 35 percent of the tipping load, 4,900 pounds of bucket breakout force, and a hinge pin height of 101.6 inches.
Built for jobsites that require a tracked machine that can easily fit through narrow passageways and operate in confined spaces, the SVL50x is just 48 inches wide, and measures 76.5 inches in height and 92.8 inches in length, with an operating weight of 5,620 pounds.
The “x” in SVL50x stands for “extra” due to the number of additional features included in the new model. Like Kubota’s larger SVL75-3 compact track loader, the SVL50x is available with a one-piece sealed cab that helps prevent dirt, dust, rain and debris from entering the operator space while providing a quieter operating environment.
In addition, the smaller machine shares the includes a 7-inch color LCD touch which gives operators access to a wide range of functions and information at their fingertips, like battery charge, hydraulic oil and coolant temperature, auxiliary mode, fuel level and the rear-view camera display.
New technologies featured in the SVL50x and Kubota machines for the first time include an anti-stall system, and an auto-idling system that helps save fuel by reducing engine RPM when high engine speed isn’t needed and the control levers are in neutral for more than 4 seconds; a creep mode that slows the machine to a crawl when operating a trencher, snowplow, and other similar attachments; and an undercarriage suspension with the mid-rollers suspended by torsion axles. Kubota Shockless Ride (KSR) will also be available on the SVL50x, to absorb shock when handling heavy loads.
