Yanmar has released a range of construction-grade compact track loaders designed to deliver productivity across construction, landscaping, and rental work.
Yanmar’s new four-model compact track loader (CTL) family — TL65RS, TL75VS, TL80VS, and TL100VS — combines the power of Yanmar engines and dual suspension steel-embedded undercarriages with cabs that prioritise operator comfort.
The line was developed after Yanmar’s acquisition of ASV in 2019, blending Japanese engineering with the original American CTL specialist’s suspended undercarriage and track technology. All machines are designed, engineered, and assembled in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
Across the range, Yanmar promotes three pillars: the ability to out load with superior innovation and technologies and high flow hydraulics; out last with robust construction and long service intervals; and out earn through productivity features, telematics, and low total cost of ownership.
In detail
• TL65RS: radial lift all rounder
The TL65RS is the smallest model and the only radial lift machine in the line-up, aimed at customers wanting a CTL with a strong breakout force and a lower purchase and operating cost.
Powered by a 49.96kW Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine, it delivers a rated operating capacity (ROC) of about 952.2kg at 35 per cent of tipping load, making it suited to general construction, landscaping, and rental fleets that value manoeuvrability and a simple radial linkage.
• TL75VS: entry vertical lift model
Stepping up, the TL75VS introduces vertical lift geometry for better reach at full height, making it attractive for loading trucks and hoppers where lift path and stability at height matter.
With roughly 53.3kW from the same Tier 4 engine and a 35 per cent ROC of about 1088kg, it balances lift performance and transport friendly size for contractors needing a versatile CTL that can handle most jobs.
• TL80VS: higher-capacity vertical lift
The TL80VS keeps the 53.3kW engine but increases both machine weight and hydraulic performance, targeting users who need more lift and better auxiliary flow for demanding attachments.
Its 35 per cent ROC increases to about 1315kg and higher standard and high flow auxiliary outputs, which suits work like heavy pallet handling, grading with powered boxes, and running larger mulchers or planers.
• TL100VS: flagship high horsepower model
At the top of the range, the TL100VS is a vertical lift powerhouse designed for midsize to heavy duty applications that typically push CTLs to their limits.
It uses a 49.96hp Yanmar engine, offers a 35 per cent ROC of about 1632kg, and a tipping load of roughly 4898kg, combining strong lift with a 3.3m class max pin height and high optional high flow hydraulics for power hungry attachments.
Undercarriage and traction
All Yanmar CTLs share an independent torsion suspended undercarriage with steel embedded, bar tread rubber tracks that increase ground contact area and improve ride quality.
This design provides traction and stability while reducing vibration and noise, and the relatively low ground pressures support work on soft ground, landscaping sites, and finished surfaces, without causing excessive damage.
Hydraulics and driveline
Standard auxiliary hydraulics are fitted to every model, with optional high flow packages delivering competitive flow and pressure for modern attachments, particularly on the TL80VS and TL100VS, where high flow outputs are substantial.
The drive system uses dual hydraulic motors with direct drive track motors, automatic two speed travel and a standard creep mode, helping operators fine tune ground speed for precise work while maintaining engine RPM figures in the power band.
Operator environment and technology
Yanmar places emphasis on operator comfort with a spacious cab featuring 360 degree visibility, clear side glass, a standard suspension seat, and a seven inch colour touchscreen display that brings together monitoring and machine settings.
Yanmar Smart Assist is fitted standard to all models. The telematics system for the company’s machinery (agriculture and construction) uses GPS and communication technology to provide remote monitoring, fleet management, and predictive maintenance, allowing users to track location, usage (hours, fuel), optimise operations, get security alerts (geo-fencing), and receive alerts for potential breakdowns to reduce downtime and costs.
It offers a customer web portal for insights, simplifies reporting, and supports efficient management for both large and small fleets.
Thanks to standard electro-hydraulic (EH) controls, operators can choose between the industry-standard ISO control layout , or the H-pattern configuration used by select suppliers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of operator preferences. Control modes can be easily switched via a selector inside the operator cab.
Durability and serviceability
Durability is supported by a heavy duty build, generous ground clearance, and a cooling layout that avoids stacked coolers to improve heat rejection and simplify cleaning.
Service access is a design priority, with four swing out service doors, a rear tipping cab, removable belly pans, and long 500 hour engine oil change intervals, while a two year/2000 hour standard machine warranty and one year/1000 hour track warranty reinforce the focus on long term ownership value.
The Tutt Bryant touch
In Australia, Tutt Bryant has been the exclusive dealer for Yanmar construction equipment for more than 46 years, selling mini excavators, crawler dumpers, wheel loaders, and hydraulic hammers — and now, the new CTLs. The company backs them up with factory trained technicians, Yanmar Eco Y parts and fixed price service packages.
Tutt Bryant Equipment’s alliance with Yanmar has become one of the most established OEM–dealer relationships in the Australian CTL equipment market.
The company is the largest and oldest multi-franchised earthmoving equipment distributor in the country, with roots going back to 1938.
Headquartered in Sydney, the Group operates nationally, supporting construction, mining, infrastructure, and trade sectors through a network of branches and business units.
