What owners say about each
Yanmar TL100VP
- 41 GPM high-flow option at large-frame pressure runs full-size mulching heads properly, not just nominally.
- 71 inches of track on the ground at 18 inches wide gives 4.0 psi ground pressure on a 10,345 lb machine.
- 9.3 mph is the fastest travel speed in Yanmar's range, and it is over a mile an hour up on the steel-embedded TL100VS.
- 10,000 lb tipping load keeps it planted with heavy attachments at full vertical extension.
- The dual-level Posi-Track suspension is the reason a machine this heavy can work on ground that would not take it otherwise.
- 2 yr/2,000 hr machine and 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty, matching the rest of the line.
- 3,500 lb rated capacity is 280 lb less than the TL100VS on the same engine - the trade is flotation and speed, not capability.
- Standard flow is only 23 GPM, so the high-flow package is close to mandatory for serious attachment work and adds cost.
- No bucket pin height is published, which is a conspicuous gap on a large-frame vertical-lift machine.
- No MSRP and no resale trail: it was announced in August 2026.
- At 10,345 lb open-ROPS, plus attachments and a trailer, this is heavy-tow territory.
- Sold in parallel as the ASV VT-100, so the two brands compete on the same machine.
Yanmar TL100VP Forestry
- 4,100 lb rated capacity is the highest of any Yanmar track loader, 600 lb above the standard TL100VP and 320 lb above the steel-embedded TL100VS.
- 41 GPM high flow comes as standard, so full-size mulching heads are a specification rather than an upgrade.
- 11,714 lb tipping load is the largest in the range and keeps it stable with a heavy head at full extension.
- 20-inch tracks hold ground pressure to 4.1 psi despite an 11,570 lb operating weight.
- Cab-only construction is the right build for debris work, and the package includes the guarding that implies.
- 2 yr/2,000 hr machine plus 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty, the same as every other Yanmar CTL.
- It is the heaviest machine in the range at 11,570 lb, which puts it firmly into heavy-tow territory before an attachment is loaded.
- No bucket pin height is published, so its reach cannot be compared against other large-frame machines here.
- No price is published and forestry configurations are the hardest to infer from dealer listings, so a quote is the only route to a number.
- Cab-only means there is no cheaper open-ROPS build for buyers who want the capacity without the forestry package.
- The 103.5 hp engine sits above the 75 hp emissions threshold, so it carries the full aftertreatment system.
