The Kubota SVL97-2 is the biggest machine in the SVL lineup, and it punishes tracks accordingly. When yours wear out, here's the number: 450x86x58 — 450 mm (18") wide, 86 mm pitch, 58 links. This guide covers tread pattern selection, the undercarriage part numbers that wear alongside the rubber, and what a heavy-duty replacement set actually costs.

Kubota SVL97-2 Specs
| Class | Compact track loader, vertical lift |
| Engine | 96 HP |
| Operating weight | 11,180 lb |
| Rated operating capacity | 3,400 lb |
| Aux hydraulic flow | 24 GPM standard / 34 GPM high-flow |
| System pressure | 3,500 PSI |
| Lift height (hinge pin) | 128" |
At 11,180 lb with a 3,400 lb rated capacity, the SVL97-2 puts more ground pressure through its tracks than almost anything else in the CTL class — which is exactly why tread choice and steel cord quality matter more here than on smaller machines.
Which tread pattern for the SVL97-2?
- Zig-Zag — $1,299 — the all-season standard. Self-cleaning, predictable on slopes, strong in mud and snow.
- X-Terrain — $1,310 — aggressive mixed-terrain pattern for machines that move between dirt, gravel, and demolition in the same week.
- C-Block — $1,430 — severe-duty block tread. Maximum rubber on the ground for rock and abrasive fill, longest wear in punishing conditions.
- Multi-Bar — $1,440 — turf-friendly for finish grading and residential work where the ground has to survive the machine.
Matching tread to ground conditions isn't a detail — it's hours. The right pattern maximizes traction across mud, rock, and snow and keeps the machine earning instead of spinning.
What replacement tracks cost
Heavy-duty TrackTECH 450x86x58 tracks for the SVL97-2 run $1,299–$1,440 per track. Every track is built with continuously wound steel cord — no welded joints to snap under an 11,000-lb machine working a full bucket — and abrasion-resistant rubber that resists cuts and chunking in rocky terrain. Tested to last 30% longer than standard aftermarket tracks, backed by our 24-month full replacement warranty. Free freight to the lower 48, same-day shipping before 12 PM CT.
SVL97-2 undercarriage parts (with Kubota part numbers)
An 11,000-lb machine on a worn undercarriage destroys new rubber fast. While the machine is up, check these — we stock all four:
- Drive sprocket — #V0611-21112 ($317): hooked teeth chew the drive lugs off a new track.
- Front idler — #V0611-22100 ($692): flange wear and wobble pull the track off line.
- Rear idler — #V0511-24103 ($450): same inspection — play means replace.
- Bottom roller — #V0511-25104 ($363): highest-wear item under the frame. Seized or leaking rollers flat-spot new tracks.
Which Kubota machines share this track?
The 450x86x58 also fits the SVL95-2 and SVL95-2S — same size, interchangeable. The smaller SVL machines run their own sizes; don't cross them over:

When to replace SVL97-2 tracks
- Lug depth under 50% — a 5-ton machine loses pushing power on slopes first
- Exposed or rusting steel cord — plan the replacement now, before it picks the worst possible day
- Cracking between lugs — normal aging past ~1,500 hours in abrasive conditions
- De-tracking that tensioning won't fix — stretched cords are permanent
FAQ
What size track does a Kubota SVL97-2 use?
450x86x58 — 450 mm wide, 86 mm pitch, 58 links.
How much does a Kubota SVL97-2 weigh?
11,180 lb operating weight, with a 3,400 lb rated operating capacity and 96 HP.
Do SVL95-2 and SVL97-2 use the same tracks?
Yes — both run 450x86x58, along with the SVL95-2S.
How long do SVL97-2 tracks last?
Typically 1,200–2,000 hours. Heavy machines on abrasive ground sit at the low end; turf and dirt work extends life.
Should I replace both tracks together?
Yes. Mismatched wear pulls the machine off line and accelerates wear on the new side.
Every hour on worn tracks costs more than the replacement. Use the Rubber Track Finder or call (850) 816-7898 for serial-number fitment verification. Search. Select. Send.
