Standard 2-Speed Travel and Selectable One-Way Self-Level
Shift from low gear to high gear to get the job done faster. One-way hydraulic self-leveling can be engaged at the flip of a switch and helps keep the bucket or pallet forks in a horizontal position without the need to manually adjust the angle during lifting.

Available with Low Effort Hydraulic Pilot Controls
Work next to home structures and curbs with confidence. Different from Electro-Hydraulic Controls, these hydraulic controls provide maximum feel and precision – with no adjustments or settings necessary. Start moving when you think you’re going to start, and stop moving when you think you’re going to stop. The Kubota exclusive ergonomically designed grips have all the necessary buttons and switches within reach.

Advanced Auto Downshift
The Advanced Auto Downshift system allows machine to smoothly drive into large piles or push heavy loads and gives outstanding turning performance. The ECU is constantly monitoring the traction load. When the traction load gets high, but before the machine starts to lose traction, it automatically shifts down for better low-range torque. Once the traction load is eased, it shifts back up automatically for high speed. Now you can just leave it in high speed regardless of the work!

One-piece, Sealed Cab
The SVL97-3 is equipped with Kubota’s new one-piece sealed cab that helps prevent dirt, dust, rain and debris from entering the operator space while also reducing noise levels.

Swing-out radiator
The swing-out radiator on the SVL97-3 opens up the engine compartment for easier access to routine service items.
