Designed with comfort and longevity in mind, the Kubota SVL97-2 is ready to provide you with the premier compact track loader experience. The SVL97-2 boasts an impressive 11.5-inches of ground clearance, letting you rise above obstacles as the rubber tracks and five, triple flange track rollers shift you around the job site. An integrated mainframe and undercarriage lends its service to the longevity of your track loader and a rugged loader arm and steel paneling give you the confidence to move and groove for years to come. Inside the cab, you’ll find a width 36-inches from side screen to side screen, giving you plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the visibility provided by the SVL97-2. So, how does the Kubota SVL97-2 hold up against the CAT 299D3? The CAT 299D3 falls short of the SVL97-2’s ground clearance, putting up just 9.6-inches, and its redesigned cab boasts improved comfort, yet doesn’t quite hit the bar that Kubota raised so high. Both compact track loaders provide you with options for closed cabs and heating and A/C systems, but it’s the comfort and durability in-one that lets the Kubota SVL97-2 pull ahead in this matchup. 

In search of something powerful? Something that won’t quit until you do? Look no further than the Kubota SVL97-2! The 4-cylinder, turbocharged Kubota engine inside the SVL97-2 puts out a dominant 96.4 horsepower, giving you the power you need to tackle the toughest jobs. You’ll enjoy precise control and maneuver the job site with ease, courtesy of standard two-speed travel, one-way self level and electronic torque travel management. The SVL97-2 brings you the best of the SVL series and with numbers such as a 9,143 pound tipping load, 7,961 pound breakout force and 12,178 pound traction force, there’s no denying the SVL97-2’s capability. So you’ve seen the SVL97-2’s numbers, curious how much horsepower the CAT 299D3 has? The 299D3 sports a robust 98 horsepower and a hefty 9,200 pound tipping load, but its 7,200 pound breakout force falls extremely short of the SVL97-2’s. Both compact track loaders start their hydraulic flow output at 23 gpm, but where the 299D3 reaches a maximum 32 gpm, the Kubota SVL97-2’s takes it all the way to 40 gpm for ample performance in any situation.
