Yanmar Adds Mid- and Large-Frame CTLs for a Total of Nine Models
And now there are nine.
After recently addressing the small end of its compact track loader line, Yanmar is now releasing six new mid- and large-frame CTLs.
All nine models feature the ASV Posi-Track fully suspended torsion-axle undercarriage.
If you're keeping score at home, the TL65RP, TL75VP, TL80VP, TL100VP, TL80VP Forestry and TL100VP Forestry join the TL25RP, TL40RP and TL50RP introduced in July. That's serious market penetration.
“With these six models joining the three small-frame machines introduced in July, we now offer customers a significantly broader range of CTL solutions — from compact applications through demanding, high-production forestry work," says Anna Christine Sgro, president of Yanmar Compact Equipment North America.
"This expansion reflects the investment we are making in our Grand Rapids [Minnesota] manufacturing operation, our products, and our dealer network. We are building the portfolio, capacity, and support infrastructure necessary to serve our customers and dealers for the long term.”
Something for everyone
The lineup includes radial- and vertical-lift configurations, rated operating capacities from 2,000 to 4,100 pounds, auxiliary hydraulic flow up to 41 gpm, and two purpose-built forestry models designed for demanding land-management applications
Each model is powered by a Yanmar diesel engine.
All six models come standard with a multifunction 7-inch color display, rearview camera, and electronic joystick controls with selectable ISO or H-pattern settings, adjustable operator profiles, and speed settings. SmartAssist Remote telematics is also standard, with complimentary service for the first five years. The system gives owners access to machine location, utilization, maintenance, and other important operating information to help manage equipment and support uptime.
Breaking down the six models
TL65RP: The radial-lift TL65RP pairs 67.1 horsepower with a 2,000-pound rated operating capacity and available 26.7-gpm high-flow hydraulics. Its compact footprint, maneuverability, and high ground clearance make it well suited for digging, grading, and loading in landscaping, property maintenance, rental, and construction applications.
TL75VP: As Yanmar’s smallest vertical-lift CTL, the TL75VP provides a combination of lifting capability, reach, and maneuverability. With 71.5 horsepower and a 2,300-pound rated operating capacity, it is equipped for truck loading, pallet handling, material movement, and a broad range of construction and landscaping work.
TL80VP: The vertical-lift TL80VP steps up performance with 71.5 horsepower, a 2,800-pound rated operating capacity and available 34.3-gpm high-flow auxiliary hydraulics. Its advanced ASV Posi-Track dual-level suspended undercarriage system, with torsion axles and bogie wheels, delivers traction, flotation, and stability across changing ground conditions. Standard 17.7-inch-wide tracks provide a broad footprint.
TL100VP: The TL100VP combines 103.5 horsepower, a 3,500-pound rated operating capacity, and available 41-gpm high-flow auxiliary hydraulics for high-production construction, landscaping, agriculture, and material-handling work. Its advanced ASV Posi-Track dual-level suspended undercarriage system with torsion axles and bogie wheels helps maintain ground contact while providing stability and a smoother ride across challenging terrain.

Its also has the ASV Posi-Track dual-level suspended undercarriage system with torsion-axles and bogie wheels.
TL100VP Forestry: The largest of the six new models combines 103.5 horsepower, a 4,100-pound rated operating capacity, and standard 41-gpm high-flow hydraulics. A hydraulically driven reversing fan, purpose-built machine guarding and a dedicated Forestry cab equip the TL100VP Forestry for high-productivity mulching, land clearing, and right-of-way work. Its advanced ASV Posi-Track dual-level suspended undercarriage system, with torsion axles, bogie wheels, and standard 20-inch-wide tracks, provides a broad, stable footprint across demanding terrain.
Fruits of investment
Yanmar has invested a lot in North America, starting with its acquisition of ASV and its plant in Grand Rapids.
Since acquiring ASV in 2019, Yanmar has invested more than $32 million in automation, innovation and manufacturing technology at the facility. The company plans to invest an additional $30 million over five years to further expand its CTL engineering capabilities and production capacity.
All Yanmar CTLs are backed by a two-year or 2,000-hour bumper-to-bumper warranty. Models equipped with ASV Posi-Track undercarriages also carry the industry’s only no-derailment guarantee during the applicable warranty period, the company says. Additional coverage is available through the Ycare Extended Warranty program.
