Kubota Launches Beastly SVL110-3 Compact Track Loader with 45 gpm Aux and Anti-Stall Brain

Kubota hasn’t overhauled its compact track loader lineup overnight. It has rebuilt it deliberately, stacking smart upgrades model by model. The SVL97-3 debut in 2024/2025 signaled the shift, bringing 8.2-mph top speeds, Kubota Shockless Ride, a sealed one-piece cab, keyless start, and a heated air-ride seat as standard equipment. Late last year, the SVL65-2S 2s followed with the same tech-forward mindset, keeping the proven core specs of the SVL65-2 but elevating the operator experience with the dash-3 generation’s cab refinements, smarter displays, and improved service access.

Now, at Conexpo 2026, Kubota tops the stack with the SVL110-3. It adds 112.7 horsepower, 279.8 pound-feet of torque, and 45 gallons per minute (gpm) of auxiliary flow, all in a compact footprint. It also includes a lot of the same cool tech mentioned in those previous two models with the addition of a new Auxiliary Performance System. I got a sneak peek of the SVL110-3 from a distance at Kubota’s dealer meeting in Texas last October. I have been waiting months to talk about it. Now it is official. The SVL110-3 is real, it is big, and it is built to run high-demand attachments.

“Contractors are consolidating machines and expecting more from every unit in their fleet,” said Anna Kitzerow, Kubota Product Manager, Construction Equipment. “As attachment capabilities expand and jobsite demands increase, we’re seeing strong momentum toward higher-horsepower compact track loaders, especially in land clearing, road building, site development and heavy dirt work. In those segments, over-100 horsepower machines are becoming a larger share of purchasing decisions each year. Contractors want the hydraulic capacity to run high-demand attachments without stepping up to a larger, more expensive platform, and that’s exactly where the SVL110-3 fits.”

Kubota SVL110-3 compact track loader overview 

Big compact track loaders are trending. Over the last two years, big brands like Caterpillar, Manitou, Case, New Holland, Takeuchi, and probably somebody else I’m forgetting have released over-100-horsepower CTLs to the market. The SVL110-3 now joins the ranks. It delivers 112.7 gross horsepower using (of course) a Kubota engine. The SVL110-3’s rated operating capacity hits 3,700 pounds. It keeps the same travel speeds as the SVL97-3 at 5.5 mph in low and 8.4 mph in high. That means you gain hydraulic muscle without losing mobility.

The headline number here is 45 gpm of auxiliary hydraulic flow. That is a meaningful jump from the SVL97-3’s 41.2 gpm. Kubota built this machine for high-demand hydromechanical tools. Think trenchers, cold planers, and brush cutters running at full output. Kubota says the SVL110-3 is performance-matched with more than 40 Kubota-engineered attachments. That includes Land Pride tools built specifically for Kubota carriers. 

“With 45 gpm of auxiliary flow, thermal management becomes critical, and that was engineered into the platform from day one,” said Kitzerow. “The SVL110-3 features Kubota’s new Heat Management System, a redesigned cooling package that supports sustained high-flow attachment use without requiring external modifications like rooftop coolers. We focused on maintaining hydraulic efficiency while protecting system integrity, so operators can run demanding tools such as brush cutters or cold planers with confidence, even in high-ambient conditions.”

The SVL110-3 keeps the same compact footprint as the SVL97-3. Overall dimensions measure 123.7 inches long, 77.2 inches wide, and 83.1 inches tall. That footprint can fit tight subdivisions and other urban jobsites. This machine targets land clearing crews, road builders, and dirt contractors.

Auxiliary performance System aims to stop stalls

Kubota’s new Auxiliary Performance System, or APS, is the defining technology on this machine. Traditional anti-stall systems drop engine rpm when load spikes. That can slow your attachment and production time. APS works differently. It maintains engine rpm and dynamically balances hydraulic power between travel and the attachment. When you push hard into a pile or a dense stand of brush, the system prioritizes what needs power most. It reduces the chance of stalling without killing momentum. For operators, that means fewer sudden bog-down moments. For fleet owners, that means fewer frustration calls and reduced shock to hydraulic components and drivetrain systems.

“APS was developed from direct jobsite feedback,” Kitzerow said. “We heard from contractors who were frustrated by traditional anti-stall systems that protect the machine but interrupt productivity. Instead of simply reducing engine rpm when load increases, APS uses electronic control logic to continuously monitor hydraulic demand and dynamically allocate power between drive and attachment circuits. The result is smoother power delivery and more consistent attachment speed under load. The SVL110-3 still retains a traditional anti-stall system to serve the heavy dirt work customers, but when auxiliary hydraulics are engaged, APS kicks in creating a more intuitive feel for the operator. During field validation, operators noticed fewer stall events and better efficiency from their attachment and machine.”

Cab comfort and maintenance on Kubota’s SVL110-3 compact track loader

The SVL110-3 carries forward Kubota’s one-piece sealed cab design. That cab blocks dust and noise better than earlier generations. Here are some other key operator-focused features:

• High-back seat
• 7-inch LCD monitor with real-time gauges
• Heat management display
• Tool-less swing-out radiator access
• Creep mode

The bigger picture for Kubota

Kubota entered the CTL market in 2010. Since then, it has steadily built a vertically integrated lineup powered by its own engines. The dash-3 generation brought sealed cabs, smarter displays, better service access, and higher flow across the board. The SVL65-2s update last year strengthened the entry-to-mid segment. The SVL97-3 launch in 2025 raised the bar for comfort and hydraulic performance. The SVL110-3 now caps the lineup with more horsepower, class-leading auxiliary flow, and APS. Standing here in the Kubota booth in Las Vegas, I sense a strategy. Kubota wants contractors to stay in the orange ecosystem as their jobs grow.
