5 most popular compact track loader brands in 2022
People get their kicks from watching nimble compact track loaders do their thing – and for good reason, as they are fast-twitchy and ruthlessly efficient! Let’s check out the 2022 standoutsThanks to their compact nature, narrow turning radius and the ability to be used with an assortment of attachments, the list of things you didn’t know you could do with skid steer/compact track loaders is just about as long as the universally accepted practices such as post-hole digging, light dozing and trenching.
Some of the more unusual uses include repairing roads, removing concrete, mixing cement, lifting, grading and clearing snow. And there are plenty more!
Let’s take a look at the most popular brands on constructionsales.com.au in 2022.

Bobcat
Much like ‘Stanley knife’ has become the generic term for a utility knife, ‘Bobcat’ has achieved something similar in the skid steer/compact track loader orbit.
That’s universal brand recognition companies love, and in 2022, visitors to the site have continued the admiration with five of the top 10 most viewed compact track loaders from the Bobcat corner.
The 3.6-tonne T590 leads the way, followed by the S590 and T870.

Kubota
It’s always nice to sit at the pointy end of a list (well, a list that’s providing good news…), and that’s where Kubota resides with its SVL75 getting the most views – and by a fair margin ahead of the second-placed machine, too.
The SVL75 has a 55kW engine and a lifting capacity of 2241kg, and perfectly embodies the powerful, comfortable, durable and versatile nature of Kubota products.

Terex’s PT30 produced the goods in 2022, with over 9000 views on the sites – the interest in that item alone enough to put the construction equipment specialist into the top five brands.
