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.
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 job sites 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. Similar to 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 quiet operating environment. Another similarity to the SVL75-3 is a 7-inch color LCD touch panel that comes standard on the SVL50x. This gives operators access to a wide range of functions and information at their fingertips, like battery charge, hydraulic oil and coolant temperature, auxiliary mode and fuel level, and is also where the standard rear-view camera is displayed.
The SVL50x also includes technologies featured in Kubota’s compact track loader lineup for the first time, including an anti-stall system and an auto-idling system that helps save fuel by reducing engine speed 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.
