What Kubota Has to Say About the New SCL1000
Kubota has an unwavering commitment to the compact construction market. And, while we took our time to engineer our inaugural product in this segment, the SCL1000 truly is a testament to that commitment, specifically filling the requests from contractors in the marketplace. We’re excited that Kubota can now compete in this segment with the SCL1000.

What’s the Big Deal?
The main talking point about the new Kubota SCL1000 revolves around the unique design. The Kubota SCL1000 Stand-On Track Loader features a 9.8-inch wide track, which they’ve coupled with a relatively narrow 36-inch machine. Because of the wide track design, which has a 4.0 psi rating, the SCL1000 does a minimal amount of damage to grass and landscaping.
The Kubota SCL1000 also features a 24.8 hp turbo-charged Kubota diesel engine that maintains quiet operation and high-altitude performance with a top speed of 5.1 mph. It has no diesel particulate filter requirement. A hydraulic pump directly connected to the engine reduces maintenance. And, with the undercarriage welded to the mainframe of the body, Kubota designed the SCL1000 Stand-On Track Loader with increased durability.
The loader arms of the Kubota SCL1000 Stand-On Track Loader have a hinge pin height of 84.7 inches and a reach of 25.9 inches at a 45° angle.
The new track loader comes with a variety of comfort features as well. It features cushioned loader arms and an adjustable platform suspension system. It comes standard with a keyless start with passcode protection, a 12V charging port, and a 4.3-inch LCD color dash monitor for machine monitoring.
