In the video above from ConExpo 2026, Kubota Product Manager Anna Kitzerow covers the biggest upgrades and key specs for the company’s largest compact track loader.

Updates include:

A new Auxiliary Performance System designed to reduce and eliminate machine stalling and downtime when operating high-demand attachments.

New creep mode to help operators maintain a consistent speed based on the task at hand.

Automatic hydraulic and coolant heat management to help protect the engine from overheating.

A tool-less swing-out radiator for easier maintenance.

Redesigned hydraulic line routing for better protection in land clearing applications

An additional counterweight or available guarding package for increased lifting capacity.

Compact track loaders are the most popular construction equipment category by new financed sales in the U.S. More than 56,000 units were sold from May 2025 to April 2026, according to Fusable’s EDA equipment finance data, with Kubota maintaining its dominant lead with 27% of all units sold.
