Yanmar SV Series — Yanmar's second mini-excavator line alongside ViO
The SV Series is Yanmar's newer mini-excavator line sitting alongside the older ViO range, and it covers five models in the database from 7.7 to 54.1 kW — from a handy one-person trenching machine up to a larger jobsite unit. The SV line's defining feature is an especially tight turning radius front and rear, opening up the tightest sites and courtyards without repositioning the machine.

While Yanmar's ViO line has built on the zero-tail-swing principle (the rear never swings out past the tracks) since 1993, the SV line is the later addition to the programme and is sold alongside it — both lines share the compact-excavator segment but differ in undercarriage and swing concept.
SV excavators mainly see use in landscaping and gardening, utility trenching, and tight inner-city jobsites where manoeuvrability matters more than raw digging depth.
For a used machine in this class, undercarriage and tensioner-roller condition matters most, since these wear disproportionately from frequent trailer transport, along with the tightness of the arm and bucket cylinders — small leaks usually show up there first.
In short: the SV Series is not a predecessor or successor to the ViO line but a second, parallel compact-excavator family in Yanmar's programme.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
