Kubota SVL97-2 Open ROPS – Rugged Power and Open-Air Simplicity for Tough Jobs

The Kubota SVL97-2 Open ROPS Compact Track Loader is built for high performance and operator visibility in challenging work environments. Designed for contractors and landowners who prefer open-air operation or work primarily in mild climates, this version of the SVL97-2 delivers all the power and capability of Kubota’s flagship compact track loader—without the enclosed cab.

At its core, the SVL97-2 Open ROPS is powered by a 96.4 horsepower Kubota diesel engine that provides excellent torque and responsive power for heavy-duty construction, land clearing, grading, and material handling tasks. With a rated operating capacity of 3,200 lbs at 35% tipping load and a tipping load of over 9,100 lbs, it’s made to move serious material with confidence.

The open ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) configuration offers maximum visibility and ventilation, giving operators an unobstructed view of their surroundings and attachments. It’s ideal for job sites where airflow, quick on/off access, and simple maintenance are priorities. The rugged steel-framed structure still meets all safety standards while offering ease of operation for more hands-on applications.

Equipped with Kubota’s high-flow hydraulics system, the SVL97-2 Open ROPS supports demanding attachments like brush cutters, trenchers, and cold planers. It also features a vertical lift design, providing a high hinge pin height of 128.5 inches—perfect for loading into dump trucks or hoppers.

Routine maintenance is made simple with a tilt-up operator platform, slide-and-tilt radiator and oil cooler, and ground-level access to key service points. Built with a heavy-duty steel undercarriage and welded mainframe, the SVL97-2 is engineered for long-term durability on tough terrain.

For professionals seeking raw power, ease of access, and open-air comfort, the Kubota SVL97-2 Open ROPS is the dependable solution. It’s everything you need in a high-performance track loader—without the cab.
