ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
Yanmar's first CTL production model, the TL100VS, has rolled off the line for the North American market.
A 7-inch color touchscreen display comes
standard on the new CTLs. Optional SmartAssist
telematics is carried over from the company's
mini excavators.

Production of the TL100VS is the culmination of four years of R&D. The remaining three models are
set for production later in 2024.
are said to enhance ride quality and vibration
resistance while increasing traction
in muddy and soft soils.
Efficiency-enhancing features
Yanmar says the TL100VS includes large
line sizes, hydraulic coolers and directdrive
pumps that transfer more flow
and pressure directly to the attachment
while reducing power loss. The auxiliary
hydraulic system features standard 41gal/min
(155-L/min) high-flow pump
capacity with maximum pressure of
3,989 psi (275 bar). Low-flow capacity
is 23 gal/min (87 L/min) at maximum
3,481 psi (240 bar).
Optional efficiency-enhancing features
include a load-sensing system,
work tool positioner, return-to-position
technology, self-leveling, ride control
and auto 2-speed capabilities. The
26 April 2024
TL100VS' load-sensing system regulates
the 41-gal/min hydraulic pump, so it
only produces what's necessary to complete
the work rather than using constant
maximum flow.
The work tool positioner allows operators
to create a preset for the angle
of the attachment for a specific task,
allowing return to position at the push
of a button. Return-to-position technology
complements the work tool positioner
by allowing operators to set a
designated height for the loader arms.
The two features can be paired together
or used independently.
The self-leveling technology uses dual-direction
capabilities to automatically
level the load both while raising the
loader arms and - unlike many other
CTLs, according to Yanmar - while lowering
them. Speed-sensitive ride control

automatically activates above a default
speed, which operators can adjust, to
enhance suspension and improve material
retention at higher speeds.
Auto 2-speed allows the TL100VS to
shift automatically between low- and
high-speed modes. This feature creates
a more seamless transition, according
to Yanmar, that improves operator control
while grading or in other applications
that require finite control. It also
reportedly allows a faster increase in
speed while traveling longer distances
such as between work areas.
The TL100VS incorporates Yanmar's
optional SmartAssist telematics already
employed in the company's mini-excavator
line. Features range from error
detection and notification to real-time
operational status updates and daily
work reports. SmartAssist also includes
integrated theft protection, allowing the
machine's owner to set a range from a
specific location and trigger an alert if
that range is exceeded.
The new CTL also will include a new
remote-control option. The feature is
available as a factory or field-install option
and allows operators to control the
loader from a distance with a harnessmounted
control box.
" This is huge for us, " Storlie said. " It
gets us into the largest compact construction
machine segment in the U.S. "
