Yanmar TL100VS
The Yanmar TL100VS is the construction-grade flagship of Yanmar's TL-series compact track loaders, launched in late 2023. Its 103.5 hp turbocharged and intercooled Yanmar diesel, 3,780 lb rated capacity, 11-foot hinge pin height, and 41 gpm high-flow option put it squarely against the Bobcat T76 and Cat 275 class - built at the ASV plant in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The 103.5 hp turbo-intercooled Yanmar diesel with 291 ft-lb of torque puts it in genuine large-frame territory, and operators say it pushes and climbs with the big-name flagships.
- ✓The 41 gpm high-flow option at nearly 4,000 psi runs full-size mulching heads properly, something mid-frame machines only pretend to do.
- ✓An 11-foot hinge pin height and vertical lift path load tri-axle dump trucks with room to spare.
- ✓The 10,800 lb tipping load makes it extremely stable with heavy attachments at full height.
- ✓Torsion-axle suspension at this weight class produces a ride quality operators consistently praise for material-hauling work.
- ✓At 4.4 psi ground pressure it treads lighter than most machines with this much power, thanks to the weight spread over wide tracks.
- ✓Standard 7-inch display, SmartAssist telematics, and a pressurized cab keep it competitive on comfort with premium rivals.
- ✓Street pricing typically undercuts equivalent Cat and Bobcat flagships by a healthy margin, which is the core of its value pitch.
Cons
- ✗It's the priciest and newest Yanmar CTL, so buyers are betting a flagship-size budget on a brand with no long-term CTL track record.
- ✗The dealer network problem stings most at this end - contractors who bill by the hour can't wait days for a distant dealer.
- ✗The 103.5 hp engine sits above the 75 hp threshold, so it carries full Tier 4 aftertreatment and the added complexity that brings.
- ✗Standard flow is only 23 gpm - unremarkable for the class - so the high-flow package is nearly mandatory for serious attachment work.
- ✗At 10,555 lbs plus attachments you're into CDL-adjacent towing territory, which surprises smaller operators.
- ✗Resale on a first-generation flagship is the biggest financial unknown in the lineup.
- ✗Parts for the 4TNV94FHT are less commonly stocked than the ubiquitous smaller Yanmar engines, so some repairs wait on shipping.
- ✗No factory smart-attachment or grade-control integration yet, features the same money buys from Bobcat and Cat.
