The Komatsu SK714-5 is a skid steer loader from the Komatsu Skid Steer Loader series. It is powered by the four-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel Komatsu 4D88E-5KFD. According to Lectura Specs it delivers 34.9 kW (46.8 HP) at 2,800 rpm; rated operating capacity is 650 kg at a weight of 2.53 t.
The drive is hydrostatic. With the skid steer principle the loader turns by running the wheels on one side faster than those on the other, so there is no articulation and almost no turning circle. That suits tight yards, livestock alleys and excavations. The hydraulic pump delivers 62.1 l/min; this flow decides how quickly the lift arms and bucket move and how much power is available for attachments such as pallet forks or sweepers.
A naturally aspirated engine without a turbocharger gives even, simple engine behaviour at lower output; the larger SK820-5SF in the same series uses a turbocharged engine instead.
Komatsu skid-steer loaders SK04J to SK1026-5 – the compact loaders from the Este plant in Italy: SK for Skid Loader, the number as size class, J and -5 as generations, SF as equipment variant
Komatsu's skid-steer loaders come from Europe: the Este plant near Padua, which Komatsu acquired in 1995 with the takeover of the Italian maker FAI and ran as Komatsu Utility Europe, built mini excavators, backhoe loaders and the SK range of skid steers for the world market. The type logic: SK stands for Skid Loader, the number orders the size in ascending order – SK04J, SK05J and SK09J the small range with weights under three tonnes, SK714, SK815, SK820, SK1020 and SK1026 the larger one, in which the first digits indicate the size class and the last the capacity – J and -5 mark the generations, SF an equipment variant. The engines are Komatsu three- and four-cylinders on Yanmar basis – 3D74E, 3D84E, 4D84E, 4D88E, 4D98E, S4D84E – small diesels of 1.0 to 3.4 litres at 2,300 to 2,800 rpm, as Komatsu also uses in the mini excavators from Este.

The register lists 9 versions with engines of 1,006 to 3,400 cm³ and three to four cylinders; power starts at 15.5 kW on the SK04J.
Komatsu remained a small supplier in the skid-steer market alongside Bobcat, Case, New Holland and Gehl and discontinued the range after 2010; the Este plant builds mini excavators and backhoe loaders today.
On used loaders, operating hours, the condition of lift arm, quick coupler and bearings, the chain cases of the drives, tyres, hydraulic tightness and parts supply, which runs through Yanmar specialists and Komatsu for the engines, are what count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
