(VIDEO) Yanmar's new vertical-lift compact track loader is highly durable for harsh construction job sites

The TL75VS is Yanmar's latest mid-size compact track loader. The TL75VS is built to be a versatile machine for construction and a variety of other segments. The vertical-lift unit is designed for 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," says Peter Ovrebo, product management director of Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. "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."

Performance and operator comfort 

The 9,205-pound TL75VS is a highly durable, construction-grade machine. A 74-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine and 2,555-pound rated operating capacity maximize performance. The 10-foot 6.5-inch max bucket pin height improves the CTL's ability to load dirt into trucks and complete other at-height tasks. The TL75VS can travel the job site at up to 7.5 mph.

The new machine features a torsion axle suspended undercarriage with 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 26-gpm high flow maximized by large line sizes, hydraulic coolers, and direct-drive pumps for reduced power loss and increased flow and pressure directly to the attachment.

Operators can work longer in comfort with the machine's standard mechanical suspended seat; a 7-inch touchscreen display improves convenience on the job. Premium 360-degree visibility enhances job site safety, and the cab features a padded, removable roof hatch escape.

Easy to learn and efficient to operate

The TL75VS sports multiple options to increase productivity and the speed at which new operators learn to use the machine. The compact track loader uses self-levelling technology and dual-direction capabilities to automatically level the load while raising and lowering loader arms.

Return-to-position technology lets operators set a designated height for the loader arms. A work tool positioner enables users to select a preset for the angle of the attachment based on the job at hand. The machine shifts automatically between low- and high-speed modes for a smoother transition between the two using auto two-speed. This provides more control in spaces with limited room and applications requiring finesse, such as grading.

Speed-sensitive ride control rounds out the productivity offerings. It conveniently enhances material retention at higher speeds without the need to actively switch the feature off when converting to slower-moving applications.

Standard technology and telematics

The TL75VS comes equipped with Yanmar's 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.

Warranty protection and ease of maintenance

The TL75VS comes with a 2-year/2,000-hour warranty. The machine's durable steel-embedded rubber-tracked undercarriage provides 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. Yanmar provides a 1-year/1,000-hour warranty on the tracks.

The model features 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.
