Designed for tough jobs in construction, agriculture, and landscaping, it combines rugged durability with advanced engineering to tackle demanding tasks.
The SVL97-3 is powered by the Kubota V3800-TIE5-L, a 3.8L turbocharged diesel engine that delivers 71.9 kW (96.4 hp) at 2500 rpm.
Compliant with B5 biodiesel and T4f emissions standards, this power plant ensures both fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility.
With four cylinders and a high-pressure common rail fuel system, it provides smooth, responsive power under heavy loads.
With a rated operating load of 1596 kg and a bucket breakout force of 3468 kgf, the SVL97-3 is more than capable of handling demanding material-moving tasks.
The bucket capacity ranges to suit various applications, while the generous dump height of 3264 mm ensures easy loading into trucks or hoppers.
The bucket width options (2057 mm and beyond) allow for efficient material handling in confined spaces or wide-open areas.
The hydrostatic transmission (HS) ensures smooth, responsive operation, with a maximum speed of 8.9 km/h forward and 13.5 km/h in reverse, making it agile on job sites.
The piston-type hydraulic pump delivers a system pressure of 245 bar and a flow rate of 156 L/min, providing the muscle needed for quick, precise movements.
Despite its compact dimensions (3901 mm length, 1962 mm width, and 2112 mm height), the SVL97-3 is built tough, weighing in at 5411 kg with the loader attached.
Its low ground pressure and rubber tracks ensure minimal ground disturbance, making it suited for delicate surfaces like turf or finished landscapes.
