Kubota SVL110-3
The bright segment is what Kubota SVL110-3 is rated to carry; the grey run past it is the rest of its tipping load. Bar length is tipping load drawn to the same scale on every machine on the site, so a short bar is a smaller machine and not a conservative rating.
One caveat on this machine: we could not find a published tipping load for it, so the figure above is its advertised capacity divided by the fraction its maker rates at. That makes the grey run arithmetic rather than a measurement, and it is the number worth asking a dealer to confirm.
Kubota's largest compact track loader, launched at ConExpo 2026 with 112.7 hp and a 45 GPM high-flow circuit adjustable from the cab touchscreen. It is built for land clearing and mulching contractors who would otherwise be sizing up to a dedicated forestry carrier.

What owners report
Summarised from the sources listed below. Nothing here was tested by us.
Kubota's largest machine ever is a purpose-built attachment carrier, and everything distinctive about it is downstream of that: 45 GPM of auxiliary flow at 3,553 psi, a cooling system redesigned to sustain it, and software whose job is to stop the engine bogging when a mulching head loads up. Rated at 3,700 lb at the 35% basis with a 10,571 lb tipping load, it will also load trucks, but a buyer paying $119,860 for it because of its lift capacity has misread the machine.
The two features worth understanding are the Auxiliary Performance System and the Heat Management System, and both address known failure modes on high-flow work. Conventional anti-stall protects the engine by dropping rpm, which is exactly what an operator running a cold planer does not want; the APS holds rpm and shifts hydraulic power between travel and attachment instead, and Kubota attributes the design to contractors complaining about the old behaviour. The cooling redesign, with a tool-free swing-out radiator and live heat monitoring on the LCD, is aimed at the reason people bolt rooftop coolers to loaders that mulch all day. Creep mode - new to Kubota's track loaders - is the third piece, making low-ground-speed attachment work controllable. What none of it changes is the V3800 engine family's aftertreatment record, which on the SVL97 machines means regens on an idling machine and a DEF pump that has been a repeat-failure item.
Where the attachment rather than the bucket is the point - land clearing, forestry mulching, cold planing - this is the machine, and where a crew can keep it working rather than idling. Anyone whose work is truck loading and general dirt should price the SVL97-3 instead, which gives up 3.8 GPM and some capacity for roughly $27,000 and identical reach. Before signing: shop hard, because dealer pricing has spread $20,000 on this model; confirm your trailer and truck handle 12,322 lb plus attachments; ask the dealer in writing how they handle DEF and particulate-filter warranty work on the V3800; and accept that you are buying a first-year machine with no accumulated field history, which makes warranty terms and dealer proximity worth more than any spec on the sheet.
What owners like
- 45 GPM of auxiliary flow at 3,553 psi is the most Kubota has ever put in a track loader, up from the SVL97-3's already class-leading 41.2, and it runs through closed-centre hydraulics so travel and attachment functions stop robbing each other.
- The Auxiliary Performance System is aimed at a real complaint rather than a spec-sheet gap: instead of pulling engine rpm down the way conventional anti-stall does, it holds rpm and redistributes hydraulic power between travel and the attachment, and Kubota says the design came directly from contractors frustrated with traditional anti-stall behaviour.
- The redesigned cooling package and tool-free swing-out radiator target the exact reason owners bolt aftermarket rooftop coolers onto high-flow machines, and the cab reports heat status in real time on the LCD instead of leaving you to notice a derate.
- Creep mode is a first for a Kubota track loader and is what makes a trencher or cold planer controllable at low ground speed; it arrives alongside selectable Mild/Normal/Quick track response and auto-shift, on a machine rated at 3,700 lb at the honest 35% basis against a 10,571 lb tipping load.
What owners complain about
- There is no field record. It reached select dealers only in April 2026, no owner reporting has accumulated, and every performance claim on it currently traces back to the launch and Kubota's own testing - which is a reason to buy carefully, not a reason to trust the spec sheet.
- The $119,860 MSRP is compact-excavator money for a loader, and dealer listings have spanned roughly $103,700 to $124,599, so the published number tells a buyer very little about what the machine actually costs.
- It uses the V3800 engine family, and that family's aftertreatment history on the SVL97 machines is the least popular thing about them - frequent regens on a machine that idles, and a DEF pump with a record of repeat failures and long backorders. Nothing in the launch material claims that changed.
- 12,322 lb before a bucket or attachment puts it past any single-axle trailer and into tandem-dual territory with a truck to match, which is a real operating cost on top of the purchase price.
- Reach does not improve over the SVL97-3 - hinge-pin height is the same 128.5 inches - so the roughly $27,000 step up buys flow, power and capacity but no extra height, and the SVL97-3 already out-flows most of the class at 41.2 GPM.
