• 8.4 MPH in high range

Two-speed travel allows operators to work precisely when needed while also moving efficiently across larger jobsites.

 

How much traction force does the Kubota SVL97-3 have?

The SVL97-3 provides approximately 13,174 lbs. of traction force.

Its tracked undercarriage provides the traction needed for grading, pushing, dirt work, land clearing, and operation on loose or uneven terrain.

 

What is the ground clearance of the Kubota SVL97-3?

The Kubota SVL97-3 provides approximately 11 inches of minimum ground clearance.

The combination of high ground clearance and a tracked undercarriage helps the machine travel across rough jobsites, uneven terrain, and demanding ground conditions.

 

What size tracks does the Kubota SVL97-3 use?

The Kubota SVL97-3 uses approximately 17.7-inch-wide tracks.

The undercarriage includes five track rollers per side and approximately 65.6 inches of track ground-contact length, helping provide traction and stability during demanding work.

 

How much does the Kubota SVL97-3 weigh?

The SVL97-3 has an operating weight of approximately 11,676 lbs. with the open ROPS configuration and approximately 11,929 lbs. with the cab configuration.

Actual machine weight can vary depending on equipment and attachments.

 

What are the benefits of the Kubota SVL97-3?

The SVL97-3 combines high horsepower, strong lifting performance, substantial breakout force, high-flow hydraulic capability, and a heavy-duty tracked undercarriage.
