Yanmar Compact Equipment launched the TL75VS as part of its new line of compact track loaders. According to the company, the TL75VS was designed to be a versatile machine that excels in construction and various other segments, including utility and rental applications. The vertical-lift unit features a high lift height and rated operating capacity and boosts productivity in at-height work and truck loading applications.
“We’re thrilled to bring another do-it-all piece of equipment to the market,” said Peter Ovrebo, product management director — North America, 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
The 9,205-pound TL75VS was built to be a durable, construction-grade machine with a 74-horsepower Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine and 2,555-pound rated operating capacity to maximize performance and ROI. The 10-foot, 6.5-inch max bucket pin height improves the TL75VS’ ability to load dirt into trucks and complete other at-height tasks. The machine can also navigate job sites with a speed of up to 7.5 mph.
Performance and operator comfort were its design goals, with a suspended undercarriage for the torsion axle 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 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.
The machine’s standard mechanical suspended seat and a 7-inch touchscreen display can improve convenience on the job for operators looking to work longer. According to the company, 360-degree visibility enhances job site awareness and safety, which is amplified thanks to a removable roof hatch escape.
Efficiency
The compact track loader uses self-leveling technology and dual-direction capabilities to level the load while raising and lowering loader arms automatically. Return-to-position technology also lets operators set a designated height for the loader arms, and a work tool positioner enables users to select a preset for the attachment angle based on the job at hand. The machine shifts automatically between low- and high-speed modes for a smoother transition using auto two-speed, providing more control in spaces with limited room and applications requiring finesse, such as grading. According to the company, speed-sensitive ride control is another feature designed to bolster operator productivity. It enhances material retention at higher speeds without actively switching the feature off when converting to slower-moving applications.
Technology
The TL75VS comes equipped with Yanmar’s optional SmartAssist Remote telematics, which offers a wide range of features, from error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. SmartAssist also allows the owner to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded, creating integrated theft protection on the TL75VS.
Reliability
True to Yanmar’s reputation, 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. According to the company, the tracks provide year-round dependability by improving traction in extreme conditions like snow, mud and soft soils. Yanmar also provides a 1-year/1,000-hour warranty on the track.
The TL75VS was also designed with easily accessible daily checkpoints, removable skid plates, three-panel engine access and a swing-out radiator that can be opened without tools for easier cleaning.
