Yanmar has launched the TL65RS as part of its new line of compact track loaders. The midsize machine is the smallest in Yanmar’s current lineup of compact track loaders and offers transportability and maneuverability in construction, utility and rental applications.
“The TL65RS is a perfect fit for tighter jobsites where operators need to balance power and maneuverability,” said Peter Ovrebo, product management director — North America, Yanmar Compact Equipment North America. “Our signature reliability allows the unit to thrive in a wide variety of jobs.”
Performance
The radial-lift TL65RS is a durable, construction-grade machine. A 67-hp Yanmar Tier 4 Final diesel engine and 2,100-lb. rated operating capacity supports performance. Operators can navigate the jobsite with travel speeds up to 7.5 mph.
The new compact track loader has a torsion axle suspended undercarriage featuring a pivot link system at the rear axle. The linkage technology utilizes a spring load to reduce oscillation and stabilize the machine, improving material retention and ride. Additionally, the TL65RS can be optioned with a 26.7-gpm high flow, optimized with large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps for more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and reducing power loss.
Operators can access a standard mechanical suspended seat and 7-in. touchscreen display inside the cab. Full, 360-degree visibility enables jobsite awareness and safety, which is bolstered by the inclusion of a removable roof hatch escape.

Operation
The TL65RS offers multiple options on the jobsite. A work tool positioner allows operators to create a preset for the angle of the attachment based on the job, while return-to-position technology enables them to set a designated height for the loader arms. Self-leveling technology utilizes dual-direction capabilities to automatically level the load while raising and lowering the loader arms. Auto two-speed allows the machine to shift automatically between low- and high-speed modes. This gives operators more control in spaces with limited room, grading and other applications requiring finesse. Speed-sensitive ride control supports material retention at high speeds without needing to actively switch the feature off while transitioning to slow-moving applications like grading.
Technology and Reliability
The TL65RS offers Yanmar’s optional SmartAssist Remote telematics. The service provides an array of features, including error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. SmartAssist has integrated theft protection that allows the owner or fleet manager to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded.
The machine’s durable steel-embedded rubber-tracked undercarriage offers construction-grade reliability, while heavy-duty bar-tread tracks complement the undercarriage through reduced vibration. The bar-treaded tracks provide dependability, increasing traction in extreme conditions like snow, mud and soft soils.
The TL65RS features accessible daily checkpoints and removable skid plates for cleaning when needed. It also includes three-panel engine access and a swing-out radiator that can be opened without tools.
