What owners say about each
Yanmar TL80VP
- 3.9 psi on 17.7-inch tracks is remarkably light for a vertical-lift machine with 2,800 lb of rated capacity.
- Standard auxiliary flow of 24.7 GPM is a real step up from the smaller VP machines, and the 34.3 GPM high-flow option runs mulchers and cold planers.
- 9.1 mph travel against the TL80VS-1C's 8 mph, with ground pressure down from 5.1 psi to 3.9.
- 64.5 inches of track on the ground spreads the load and helps it climb, while the co-polymer-cord belt keeps the ride civilised.
- 8,000 lb tipping load keeps it stable with pallet forks at height.
- It is 655 lb lighter than the TL80VS-1C at the open-ROPS weight, which matters at the trailer.
- 2 yr/2,000 hr machine plus 1 yr/1,000 hr track warranty.
- Rated capacity is 100 lb BELOW the steel-embedded TL80VS-1C, so the new machine is not the bigger one.
- Bucket pin height is not published, so its dump height cannot be compared with the machines beside it.
- No list price and no used market for an August 2026 model.
- The 34.3 GPM high-flow circuit is optional here, where the Forestry version ships with it.
- Wide 17.7-inch tracks cost meaningfully more to replace than standard-width rubber.
- The same machine is sold as the ASV VT-80-1C.
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.
