Maximize Efficiency: Kubota SVL Skid Steer Tuning

Maximize Efficiency: Kubota SVL Skid Steer Tuning

Eliminate costly DEF and DPF issues on your Kubota SVL90, SVL95, SVL97 skid steer. Northern Tuning offers industry-leading ECM tuning—fast, reliable, and proven.

If you own a Kubota SVL90, SVL95, or SVL97 skid steer, you already know how capable and powerful these machines can be. But like many modern skid steers, Kubota units are plagued by emissions-related issues that can cause costly downtime and repairs—usually when you need your machine the most.

At Northern Tuning, we offer industry-leading custom ECM tuning that will unlock the true potential of your Kubota skid steer, eliminate DEF-related headaches, and save you thousands in future repairs.

Why Tune Your Kubota Skid Steer?

Kubota skid steers—including the SVL90, SVL95, and SVL97 models—are notorious for DEF system failures, DPF clogging, and emissions-related derates. These systems are extremely expensive to repair or replace—often costing double the price of a tuning service—and you'll likely face these issues multiple times over the machine's lifespan.

👉 The math is simple:

  • Emissions component replacement: $6,000+

  • Our one-time tuning cost: Less than half that

  • Peace of mind: Priceless

With Northern Tuning’s ECM tuning solutions, we permanently resolve these issues so you can focus on what matters—getting the job done.

What You Get with Northern Tuning Kubota Skid Steer Tuning:

✅ Remove DPF/DEF-related faults and derates
✅ Eliminate costly emissions system repairs
✅ Improve engine reliability and uptime
✅ Increase power and torque output
✅ One-time investment—no more emissions-related downtime
✅ Improved engine longevity by reducing soot intake reintroduced into the cylinder by the EGR system

How Our Process Works

We read your current data directly from your ECM, create a fully custom tune file, and optimize it specifically for your skid steer and your requirements. We then flash your ECM and return it ready to install—so you can get back to work with no more emissions problems.

👉 Our tuning is performed 100% in-house, giving you the confidence to know that it’s done right the first time.

Tuning Workflow:

  1. You package and ship your ECM (and ACM if required—Modus series machines with DEF require both ECM and ACM to be sent).

  2. We read your skid steer’s ECM file.

  3. We create a fully custom tune designed specifically for your model and needs.

  4. We flash your ECM (and ACM if applicable) with the optimized file.

  5. We return your tuned modules within 24 hours of receiving them—ready for you to reinstall and go back to work.

👉 No laptop or tools required—simply send in your ECM/ACM and we handle the rest.

Protect Your Investment

Without tuning, most Kubota skid steer owners will face 2 to 4 major emissions-related repairs over their machine's lifetime—costing thousands in parts and downtime.

With Northern Tuning’s custom ECM tuning:
✔️ You pay once.
✔️ You avoid all future emissions headaches.
✔️ You gain performance and reliability.
