New Model Includes Sealed Cab Keyless Entry

Kubota has launched the SVL 97-3 compact track loader, featuring several major upgrades designed to enhance comfort, safety, and performance. 

This new release retains the user-favorite features of the SVL 75-3 and adds more advanced capabilities. 

One of the standout improvements is the design of the one-piece sealed cab, which creates a cleaner and quieter environment for operators. 

The SVL 97-3 comes with a 7-inch digital screen that supports up to 51 unique passcodes.  

This keyless system enhances machine security and allows users to tailor access and machine settings based on individual operators. You can even block certain features by assigning customized passcodes. 

Another important feature is the swing-out radiator system. By simply removing two bolts, the entire unit swings open, offering full access to the engine bay and filters. This feature significantly improves serviceability and maintenance. 

Performance-wise, the loader includes auto idle and auto downshift, which helps manage power efficiently during heavy-duty tasks like loading or turning into piles. 

The hydraulic loader arms have been enhanced for increased speed, boosting overall productivity. 

The HVAC system has also been upgraded to provide better airflow and temperature control, further improving operator comfort during long workdays. 

Kubota says the SVL 97-3 is built to meet the needs of farmers, contractors, and equipment operators who demand durability, precision, and ease of use. 

Take a closer look at the new SVL 97-3 in the video below.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
