Nov 28, 2023Kubota reveals its smallest compact track loader – the SVL50x | Equipment World
Oct 18, 2024Kubota unveiled its smallest compact track loader this week at Equip Expo.
The new SVL50x runs on a 49.6-gross-horsepower Kubota engine and is only 48.5 inches wide for fitting in tight spaces. It also comes with some debut features from Kubota, which has loaded the small loader with lots of tech and other functions for easier operation. Kubota says the “x” stands for “extra.”
The new CTL is a response to a growing trend, particularly in homebuilding, of denser construction, according to Kubota.
“With the trend of putting more houses on less land, and the space between lots getting tighter and tighter, Kubota is filling a need in the market for a narrow, cabbed track loader among construction and landscaping professionals,” says Jerry Corder, Kubota product manager, construction equipment. “The new SVL50x gives operators a smaller, feature-packed machine, some of which have never been seen on a Kubota compact track loader.”
The 49.6-horsepower SVL50x has an overall width of 48.5 inches.Kubota The company lists the new features making their debut on a Kubota CTL:
KubotaThe SVL50x can be configured with four options, from an open ROPS operator station to a one-piece sealed cabin decked out with Kubota’s premium features.
The one-piece sealed cab “helps prevent dirt, dust, rain and debris from entering the operator space while providing a quiet operating environment,” Kubota says. It comes with a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen for operation functions and information, such as battery charge, hydraulic oil and coolant temperature, auxiliary mode and fuel level. A rearview camera is also standard and is viewed on the touchscreen.
The new CTL delivers max auxiliary hydraulic flow of 20 gallons per minute and can run a variety of attachments like grader, snowplow, mower, auger and broom. Kubota also gave the loader an 8-foot 5.6-inch lift height for loading trucks and containers.

The new SVL50x is set to hit dealerships in the first quarter of 2025. Before its release, the 69-horsepower SVL65-2 was the company’s smallest CTL.
