New Kubota Models Coming to Hawaii in 2026
10/26/2025
Bacon Universal was excited to join Kubota dealers from across North America for the annual Kubota Connect dealer meeting in Grapevine, Texas, held on September 29-30.
This event provided a first look at Kubota's latest equipment innovations, upcoming technologies, and future direction for the brand. Several new products were unveiled during the conference, many of which will be arriving in Hawaii in 2026.
The standout launch in the construction equipment portfolio was the SVL110-3, Kubota's largest compact track loader to date. This new 112.7 HP machine comes with 45 gpm auxiliary hydraulic flow, and a rated operating capacity of 3,700 lbs. It is the first Kubota track loader to feature creep mode, providing full functionality at reduced drive speeds to enhance attachment operation.
The high specification SVL110-3 comes with a one-piece sealed cab, a 7-in. touch screen with keyless start, a standard rear view camera, and an integrated radio with Bluetooth. The machine offers the ability to program auxiliary flow settings and monitor pressure levels in real time, as well as featuring adjustable track response, Kubota shockless ride, and a new “no-tool” radiator swing-out for easier servicing.
Available with a range of performance matched attachments, the SVL110-3 comes with telematics as standard. Ideal for land clearing and general construction applications, the first units are expected to arrive in Hawaii in spring 2026.

An upgraded version of Kubota's popular SVL65-2 is on the way. As announced at Kubota Connect 2025, the SVL65-2s as it will be known, maintains the same basic specifications as the current SVL65-2, but with new operator comfort and performance features that we are seeing being implemented on the larger next-generation units.
New features include Kubota's Shockless Ride, where the suspension system buffers the loader arms over uneven terrain to keep material in the bucket and improve operator comfort. The new auto-shift function automatically senses when traction load rises while turning and shifts down for better torque before the track loader starts to lose traction. Delivering smoother turns, when the machine senses the load easing, it shifts back to high.
The color LCD panel in the cab is controlled by touchscreen and a jog dial. Operators can use the touchscreen to choose between "mild", "normal" and quick settings to adjust track response to the job conditions. Also on the new SVL65-2s is keyless start that uses a four-digit passcode on the touchscreen to start the machine, up to 50 passcodes can be saved.
Kubota also introduced the next generation of Grand L tractors, featuring a refreshed look and a long list of operator-focused upgrades. A highlight is a new "ProCab", a 4-post cabin that provides excellent all-around visibility and a sleek, modern profile.
Customers can opt for the factory-installed ProCab on the Deluxe or Premium models, or select an open-air ROPS option. The new tractors run on Kubota diesel engines ranging from 37 to 60 horsepower and feature Kubota's Common Rail System with electronically controlled fuel injection for smooth, efficient operation.
The new tractors come with Kubota's Intelligent Hydrostatic Transmission, which features a foot pedal that can be adjusted for acceleration sensitivity, from gradual to quick.

Another major announcement was the Auto Steering Function Kit, a retrofittable system that brings satellite-guided steering to compatible Kubota tractors and mowers. Once installed, the system allows machines to map a work zone and steer automatically for consistent, accurate passes.
Kubota's reliable RTV utility vehicle lineup also received an update. The RTV 1130 will now carry the name RTV-X Long Bed, featuring:
