Kubota makes the only machines in construction where the operator shows up late, the machine starts instantly, and the job still gets finished.
The SVL110-3: Kubota's Biggest CTL Yet
The SVL110-3 is now Kubota's largest compact track loader, producing 112.7 hp and delivering 45 GPM of auxiliary flow Constructionequipmentguide — a meaningful upgrade for contractors running high-demand attachments like trenchers, cold planers, or skid cutters. The headline feature is Kubota's new Auxiliary Performance System (APS), a software-driven system that maintains optimal engine RPM while dynamically distributing hydraulic power between machine travel and attachment functions Constructionequipmentguide — essentially replacing old-school anti-stall with something smarter. The machine fits into a compact footprint of 123.7 in. by 77.2 in. and travels at 5.5 and 8.4 mph in low and high range Constructionequipmentguide, keeping it maneuverable on tight sites. Dealers are expected to receive the SVL110-3 starting April 2026.
The SVL65-2s: Lighter, Smarter Mid-Size
On the smaller end, the SVL65-2s comes in at 68.4 hp with a 3,915-kg operating weight Equipment Journal, pitching it as a versatile machine for contractors who need to move between job sites and tight spaces. It features a premium LCD monitor with touch and jog dial controls, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming and hands-free calling, auto downshift technology, a high-back air ride heated seat, standard rearview camera, and vertical lift arms reaching 3 metres at hinge pin height.

The Tiltrotator: One Operator, More Output
The most notable piece of the announcement may be Kubota Canada's entry into the tiltrotator market. The new Kubota Tiltrotator offers 360-degree rotation and a 50-degree tilt angle and is compatible with buckets, grading beams, pallet forks, grapples, brooms, and asphalt cutters. Kubota It's designed to work with Kubota excavator models including the U48-5, U55-5, KX057-5, and KX080-5.

The value pitch is straightforward. As Kubota Canada's excavator product specialist put it: "The tiltrotator turns one operator into a full crew — more efficiency, more production and fewer people needed on the jobsite." Equipment Journal On a market where labor is expensive and tight, that's a hard argument to ignore.ONE PRACTICAL THING
