What owners say about each
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.
Yanmar TL65RP
- 9.1 mph travel speed against the TL65RS-1C's 7.5 mph is time back on any site big enough to drive across.
- 4.2 psi ground pressure, well under the steel-embedded machine's 5.67 psi, is the real reason to choose this undercarriage.
- The Posi-Track track is a rubber compound with embedded co-polymer cords rather than steel, which is what lets it run so soft without the ride penalty.
- Two independent torsion axles plus two torsion bogie wheels per side, and 12 UHMW-polyethylene and rubber roller wheels per track - suspension, not just a wide footprint.
- 21.4 GPM standard at 3,481 psi with a 26.7 GPM high-flow option covers most attachment work in this size.
- At 7,405 lb open-ROPS it is over a thousand pounds lighter than the TL65RS-1C, which shows up in trailer choice.
- 2 yr/2,000 hr machine plus 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty.
- Rated capacity is LOWER than the TL65RS-1C it sits beside - 2,000 lb against 2,100 - so this is not a straight upgrade and should not be sold as one.
- Yanmar publishes no bucket pin height for the RP models, so the one figure that decides whether it loads your trailer is missing.
- No list price exists and there is no used market yet for an August 2026 machine.
- High flow is an option rather than standard equipment, so the 26.7 GPM figure is a configuration and a cost.
- It duplicates the ASV RT-65-1C, which means the same machine competes with itself across two dealer networks.
- Radial lift still limits reach at full height, whatever the undercarriage does.
