What owners say about each
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.
Yanmar TL50RP
- 3.0 psi is the lowest ground pressure of any machine in this catalog, and the 15-inch track is what buys it.
- 1,400 lb rated capacity from a 5,205 lb machine is an efficient capacity-to-weight ratio for trailering.
- 2,920 lb of bucket breakout force gives it genuine digging authority for a small frame.
- The dual-level Posi-Track suspension - torsion axles plus bogie wheels, 12 roller wheels per track - is a smoother ride than any rigid-frame loader this size.
- 53.8 hp keeps it below the emissions threshold that brings heavier aftertreatment on the larger machines.
- 2 yr/2,000 hr machine and 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty, the same coverage as the flagship.
- 13.3 GPM is the same standard flow as the much smaller TL40RP, so hydraulic attachment capability does not scale with the engine.
- No high-flow package is offered on any of the three small-frame machines.
- Yanmar does not publish a bucket pin height for it, so truck-loading reach cannot be compared here.
- No published price, and a machine launched in July 2026 has no resale trail to check.
- Radial lift limits reach at the top of the arc, which matters more as capacity climbs toward mid-frame work.
