Kubota has entered the compact track loader market with two models: the 75-horsepower SVL75, which has a 6,204-pound bucket breakout force and 4,881-pound lifting capacity, and the 90-horsepower SVL90, which delivers 7,961 pounds of breakout force and offers a lifting capacity of 5,869 pounds. Powered by a four-cylinder Kubota diesel engine, both models have a rigid mount undercarriage and feature a vertical lift design. Two-speed travel and high ground clearance ensure stability on rough terrain, and convenience features include a hand-and-foot throttle and high back adjustable suspension seat. A tilt-up cab offers easy access for simplified maintenance, and all grease fittings are accessible from ground level.

Volvo’s L150F, L180F and L220F wheel loaders now have the OptiShift driveline system, which delivers fuel savings of up to 15 percent. OptiShift adds a new torque converter with lock up and free wheel stator to Volvo’s APS driveline. The OptiShift transmission delivers smooth shifting with automatic lock up in second through fourth gears. The function can be switched on and off from the cab. Volvo says the driveline is also useful in reducing fuel consumption in load and carry operations, and in short cycle loading. The RBB (Reverse by Braking) system assists in machine deceleration through the use of the standard service brakes, rather than the torque converter. Once the operator switches from forward to reverse, the RBB system slows the machine, enabling smooth deceleration while reducing wear and fuel consumption.
