Important: the SVL75-2 is a compact track loader (rubber tracks), not a wheeled skid steer. It is commonly cross-shopped with skid steers, but it is a tracked machine with an undercarriage to maintain.
Quick answer
The Kubota SVL75-2 is a compact track loader — not a wheeled skid steer — with a rated operating capacity of about 2,300 lb and roughly 74 gross horsepower. Its tracks suit soft and uneven ground, and Kubota's reputation for reliable compact machines makes it a popular used pick. It was later succeeded by the SVL75-3.
Key facts
- Machine type: compact track loader (rubber tracks), cross-shopped with skid steers
- Rated operating capacity: 2,300 lb (35% of tipping load)
- Operating weight: approximately 9,039 lb (includes operator), varies by configuration
- Engine: gross power approximately 74.3 hp (SAE J1995)
- Later succeeded by the SVL75-3 — confirm the generation
Overview
The Kubota SVL75-2 is a mid-size compact track loader known for a strong reputation in Kubota's compact lineup. Its tracks give flotation and traction on soft or uneven ground where a wheeled skid steer would struggle.
Buyers often compare it to wheeled skid steers, but it is a tracked machine — meaning an undercarriage to inspect and maintain. Because it was succeeded by the SVL75-3, confirm which generation a listing represents.

What to check on a used one
- Undercarriage wear is the key cost — inspect tracks, rollers, idlers, and sprockets
- Confirm hydraulic configuration for your attachments
- Check for mud/debris packing and undercarriage damage
- Distinguish SVL75-2 from the later SVL75-3 when comparing
How hours affect value
Balance engine hours against undercarriage condition and service history. A fresh undercarriage and documented maintenance can make a higher-hour SVL75-2 the better buy over a neglected lower-hour unit.
Inspection checklist
- Undercarriage: track, roller, idler, and sprocket wear and tension
- Hydraulics under load and auxiliary function
- Drive motors for even drive on both sides
- Loader linkage, pins, and bushings
- Cooling package and engine bay condition
- Hour meter vs records and major repair history
Maintenance & records to ask for
- Confirm undercarriage service and any replacements
- Verify engine and hydraulic service history
- Ask about any major repairs and parts sourcing
Attachments & transport
Confirm the hydraulic flow and coupler type match the attachments you plan to run before buying for attachment-heavy work.
At roughly 9,000 lb plus attachments, confirm trailer and tow ratings and budget for delivery on distant units.
Questions to ask the seller
- How many hours are on the undercarriage, and has it been serviced or replaced?
- Is this an SVL75-2 or SVL75-3, and what attachments has it run?
- What ground conditions did it work in?
- Are there service records, and can I run it under load?
