What owners say about each
Yanmar TL25RP
- At 3.2 psi it is one of the lightest-footprint machines in this catalog, which is the whole point on sod, pavers and saturated ground.
- Under 4,000 lb at the open-ROPS weight, so it trailers behind a half-ton pickup with an attachment aboard and stays legal.
- The 11-inch Posi-Track undercarriage rides on two independent torsion axles plus two torsion bogie wheels per side, a suspension layout small rigid-frame loaders simply do not have.
- It is a sit-in machine with real ROPS and an optional All Weather Cab, not a stand-on - so it competes with the ASV RT-25 class rather than with walk-behind loaders.
- Yanmar's warranty runs 2 years/2,000 hours on the machine plus a separate 1 year/1,000 hours on the tracks, unusual coverage at this size.
- 800 lb of rated capacity is far below anything else in this catalog, and it will be the wrong machine for most buyers comparing mid-frames.
- No high-flow option is offered at all, so 9.9 GPM at 3,000 psi is the ceiling and powered attachments are largely out of reach.
- Yanmar publishes no bucket pin height for this model, so dump height cannot be compared against the machines it sits next to here.
- There is no published price and no resale history - it launched in July 2026 - so a dealer quote is the only number available.
- The 23.2 hp three-cylinder is the smallest engine in the line, and it will feel it in anything heavier than light material.
Yanmar TL40RP
- 38.2 hp against the TL25RP's 23.2 buys real digging and grading pace without widening the machine.
- 13.3 GPM of standard auxiliary flow at 3,000 psi runs the light augers, brooms and grapples this size of machine is bought for.
- 3.3 psi ground pressure on the Posi-Track undercarriage keeps it off finished surfaces that a wheeled loader of the same capacity would tear.
- 2,480 lb of bucket breakout force is strong relative to its 930 lb rated capacity, which is what makes it a digger rather than just a carrier.
- Same 2 yr/2,000 hr machine plus 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty as the rest of the line.
- 930 lb rated capacity is a small-frame number - full pallets and wet material are out of scope.
- No high-flow option exists, so mulching heads and planers are off the table whatever the hydraulics suggest.
- Lift height is not published by Yanmar for the RP models, leaving a hole in any dump-height comparison.
- No list price and no used market yet; it is a July 2026 machine sold on dealer quote.
- It overlaps the ASV RT-40 almost exactly, so two dealer networks will quote near-identical machines and the badge is most of the difference.
