“Kubota has an unwavering commitment to the compact construction market,” says Tim Boulds, Kubota construction equipment product operations manager. “And, while we took our time to engineer our inaugural product in this segment, the SCL1000 truly is a testament to that commitment, specifically filling the requests from contractors in the marketplace. We’re excited that Kubota can now compete in this segment with the SCL1000.”
Unique design: Wide track, narrow machine
The new SCL1000 features a wide 9.8-inch track that comes standard on the overall narrow, 36-inch machine. The integrated track design is engineered for durability with the undercarriage welded to the mainframe of the body. The grease track tension design includes sealed oil bath rollers for less maintenance and greater durability. The wide track design, with a rating of 4.0 psi, is low impact and minimizes damage to grass and landscaping.
Compact but powerful
Kubota’s SCL1000 hass a powerful 24.8 horsepower turbo-charged Kubota diesel engine with quiet operation, high-altitude performance and no diesel particulate filter requirement. A hydraulic pump directly connected to the engine reduces maintenance. The loader arms reach high and far with a hinge pin height of 84.7 inches and a reach of 25.9 inches at a 45-degree dump angle. The SCL1000 has a best-in-class travel speed of 5.1 miles per hour.
Packed with comfort and convenience
Kubota’s SCL1000 is engineered with cushioned loader boom cylinders and an adjustable platform suspension system that increase operator comfort for maximum productivity. The loader comes standard with a keyless start with passcode protection, 12-volt charging port and a 4.3-inch LCD color dash monitor that provides easy-to-read consolidated machine monitoring.
The new SCL1000 will be available at select authorized Kubota dealers in the second half of 2020.
