What owners say about each
Case TV370B
- The 74 hp FPT engine needs no DEF and no SCR system, so owners skip the fluid top-offs and dosing-system failures that plague higher-horsepower rivals.
- A 3,700 lb rated capacity and 131.6-inch hinge pin let it load dump trucks and stack full pallets with ease - capacity that usually costs Cat 275 or Bobcat T86 money.
- Torque is the story rather than horsepower - the FPT pulls hard into piles, and operators are consistently surprised how much machine 74 hp moves.
- Case's cab is one of the widest in the industry, and the huge door opening and low entry make it a favorite among bigger operators who feel cramped in a Bobcat.
- The one-piece welded lift arm design is stout, and long-term owners report the loader geometry stays tight where multi-piece arms develop slop.
- The 8.0 mph two-speed travel and available ride control make long ground moves quick and keep material in the bucket over rough ground.
- The 'operator not fully present' seat and armrest sensor faults are a known B-series annoyance that can lock the machine until sensors are cleaned or replaced.
- At 74 hp pushing nearly 10,000 lbs, flow-hungry work like mulching feels underpowered next to 90-110 hp rivals even with the high-flow option.
- Owners report electrical gremlins and display glitches on B-series machines, and owners describe dealer software updates as a recurring fix.
- High-flow, ride control, and the performance cab package are all extra-cost options that push a well-equipped unit well past the attractive base price.
- The rigid-mount undercarriage rides rough at speed compared to torsion-suspended machines like ASV and Cat's suspended designs.
- The vertical-lift linkage limits mid-range reach compared to radial machines, so backfilling over walls takes more repositioning.
Yanmar TL80VS-1C
- Ground pressure of just 5.1 psi is the headline - the wide tracks float over finished lawns, wet clay, and sand where standard mid-frames rut and sink.
- The 8,286 lb tipping load makes it noticeably more stable than the TL75VS-1C with heavy pallets and full buckets at height.
- Standard auxiliary flow rises to 24.7 gpm on this model, and the 34.3 gpm high-flow option genuinely runs mulchers and cold planers.
- Yanmar's 71.5 hp turbo diesel avoids DEF entirely while still hitting Tier 4 Final, simplifying daily operation.
- Vertical lift with a 126.5 in hinge pin height loads trucks cleanly, making it a legitimate one-machine solution for landscape supply yards.
- The 7-inch display, SmartAssist telematics, and suspended seat are all standard, keeping the as-delivered price honest.
- The 2,900 lb rated operating capacity at a 9,610 lb operating weight is an efficient capacity-to-weight ratio for trailering.
- It's the same 71.5 hp engine pushing more machine than the TL75VS-1C, so operators note it works harder when mulching or climbing with full loads.
- Yanmar's thin CTL dealer network is the recurring worry, especially for buyers outside the Midwest and Southeast.
- The DPF remains, so frequent short cycles bring regen downtime.
- At 9,610 lbs with wide tracks it needs a 10k-plus trailer setup, more than some buyers expect from a 71.5 hp machine.
- Replacement wide tracks cost meaningfully more than standard-width rubber when the time comes.
- The 2026 TL80VP covers the same ground at 3.9 psi and 9.1 mph, so this machine's case now rests on its steel-embedded track and 100 lb of extra rated capacity rather than on being the newest option.
