Yanmar TL75VS
The Yanmar TL75VS is the first vertical-lift step in Yanmar's TL-series compact track loader lineup, launched at ConExpo 2023 as part of the brand's entry into the CTL market. Built in Grand Rapids, Minnesota alongside ASV machines, it combines a 74 hp turbocharged Yanmar diesel with a torsion-axle suspended undercarriage and a 2,555 lb rated operating capacity.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓The vertical lift path puts the hinge pin at 10.5 feet, so it loads dump trucks and hoppers cleanly where radial machines in this class struggle.
- ✓Yanmar's own 74 hp turbo diesel meets Tier 4 Final without DEF, one less fluid to stock and one less system to fail.
- ✓The torsion-axle suspended undercarriage delivers a ride quality operators compare to ASV machines, letting them carry material faster over rough ground.
- ✓Near-360-degree visibility from the cab with a standard suspended seat makes it one of the more comfortable mid-frames to run all day.
- ✓A 7-inch color display and SmartAssist telematics are standard equipment, not options, which sweetens the value story against Bobcat and Deere.
- ✓The 7,300 lb tipping load gives it a stable, planted feel with pallet forks, and the 2,555 lb rated capacity covers most landscape and construction loads.
- ✓Machine-plus-track warranty coverage (2 yr/2,000 hr machine, 1 yr/1,000 hr tracks) is reassuring for a first-generation product.
- ✓Being built in the same Minnesota plant as ASV means the factory has decades of track-loader manufacturing experience behind it despite the new badge.
Cons
- ✗As a 2023-launch product there's minimal long-term reliability history, and early adopters are effectively the durability test fleet.
- ✗Yanmar's CTL dealer network is still sparse compared with the big four, so service access varies wildly by region.
- ✗Standard 21.4 gpm auxiliary flow is midpack, and the 26.7 gpm high-flow option still trails high-flow packages from Cat and Bobcat in this size.
- ✗Resale is a question mark - the used market hasn't priced first-generation Yanmar CTLs yet.
- ✗The suspended undercarriage's extra pivots and axles add greasing points and potential wear items over a rigid design.
- ✗No DEF is nice, but the engine still carries a DPF, so short-cycle users will deal with regen interruptions.
- ✗Attachment ecosystem support is generic - there's no brand-specific smart-attachment integration like Bobcat and Cat now offer.
- ✗The cab, while comfortable, lacks some premium options rivals offer such as heated seats or advanced camera packages.
