Yanmar’s new compact track loader trio


The TL80VS, TL75VS and TL65RS join the manufacturer’s growing line of compact track loaders

Yanmar Compact Equipment’s line of compact track loaders has grown to include four models on the market.

The manufacturer recently announced production of the TL80VS, TL75VS and TL65RS CTLs. 

Yanmar entered the CTL market after introducing its new lineup at ConExpo 2023. The 103-hp TL100VS was the first Yanmar CTL to enter production.

TL80VS 

The TL80VS excels in several segments, including construction, utilities and rental. The vertical-lift machine is equipped with a variety of productivity-enhancing features, including a 3.2 metre maximum bucket pin height and high-flow attachment capabilities. 

“We engineered the TL80VS to give the market a compact, manoeuvrable machine with performance that punches above its weight class,” said Peter Ovrebo, Product Management Director for North America, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “This machine’s capability provides similar performance to larger machines while maintaining the agility of a more compact unit.”

The 4,360-kg CTL is a construction-grade machine with excellent durability. A 1,315-kg rated operating capacity and 74-horsepower Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine offers the performance and productivity needed to maximize ROI. As well, the bucket pin height improves the machine’s ability to load dirt into trucks and thrive in other at-height tasks. Operators can quickly navigate the jobsite with a top travel speed of 13 km per hour.

The new TL80VS is equipped with a torsion axle suspended undercarriage featuring a pivot link system at the rear axle. The linkage technology uses a spring load that reduces oscillation and stabilizes the machine for improved ride quality and material retention. 

Additionally, the TL80VS can be equipped with 130 litres per minute high flow hydraulics with performance maximized by large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps for reduced power loss and increased flow and pressure directly to the attachment.

TL65RS

The TL65RS midsize compact track loader is the smallest in Yanmar’s current lineup of machines. 

“The TL65RS is a perfect fit for tighter jobsites where operators need to balance power and manoeuvrability,” Ovrebo said. “Our signature reliability allows the unit to thrive in a wide variety of jobs.”

The radial-lift TL65RS is powered by a 67-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine and features a 952-kg rated operating capacity. Operators can navigate the jobsite with the max travel speed of up to 12 km per hour.

The new compact track loader maximizes performance with a torsion axle suspended undercarriage featuring a pivot link system at the rear axle. The linkage technology utilizes a spring load to reduce oscillation and stabilize the machine, improving material retention and ride quality. 

The TL65RS can be optioned with 101 litres per minute high flow hydraulics, optimized with large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps for more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and reducing power loss. 

TL75VS

The TL75VS is a vertical-lift machine that boosts productivity in at-height work and truck loading applications, featuring a high lift height and rated operating capacity.  

“We’re thrilled to bring another do-it-all piece of equipment to the market,” Ovrebo said. “The TL75VS provides operators with top-tier performance wherever it’s needed, and the reliability we’re known for ensures the machine is running on all cylinders until the job is done.”

The 3,175-kg TL75VS is powered by a 74-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine and its 1,159-kg rated operating capacity maximizes performance and productivity. The 3.2-metre maximum bucket pin height improves the TL75VS’ ability to load dirt into trucks and complete other at-height tasks. 

Operators can quickly navigate the jobsite thanks to the CTL’s top travel speed of 12 km per hour.

The new machine also includes the torsion axle suspended undercarriage featuring a pivot link system at the rear axle. The linkage technology uses a spring load that reduces oscillation and stabilizes the machine for improved ride quality and material retention. Furthermore, the TL75VS can be optioned with a 98 litre per minute high flow circuit maximized by large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps for reduced power loss and increased flow and pressure directly to the attachment.

Reliability

All three CTLs feature durable steel-embedded rubber-tracked undercarriages for construction-grade dependability. Heavy-duty bar-tread tracks complement the undercarriage through improved ride quality and vibration reduction. The tracks provide year-round dependability by improving traction in extreme conditions like snow, mud and soft soils. 

For ease of service, the CTLs model feature easily accessible daily checkpoints, removable skid plates, three-panel engine access and a swing-out radiator that can be opened without tools for fast, convenient cleaning when necessary.

Compact track loader efficiency

Yanmar’s compact track loaders include multiple options to improve productivity and provide intuitive operation. Self-levelling technology uses dual-direction capabilities to automatically level the load while raising and lowering loader arms. 

As well, a work tool positioner enables operators to preset the angle of the attachment based on the task, while return-to-position technology lets operators set a designated height for the loader arms. Through auto two-speed, the machine shifts automatically between low or high-speed modes for a smooth transition between the two. 

This gives users more control in spaces with limited room, along with grading and other applications requiring finesse. Speed-sensitive ride control provides the convenience of enhanced material retention at higher speeds without needing to actively switch the feature off when converting to grading or other slower-moving applications.

In the cab, the machines are equipped with a standard mechanical suspended seat; and a state-of-the-art 18-cm touchscreen display improves convenience on the job. Premium 360-degree visibility enhances jobsite awareness and safety, improved by a removable roof hatch escape.

Technology

Yanmar’s CTLs are available with the optional SmartAssist Remote telematics. This offers a wide range of features, including error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. 

SmartAssist strengthens security with integrated theft protection, allowing the owner to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded.
