I worked for my neighbor helping him build his new house and other projects. He had one of the SVL 75-2. A most amazing machine. Took me a while to get used to the Cat controls. I was used to Case controllers. Kubota has improved on a very nice machine. Well done Kubota
Thank you for watching and commenting! I couldn’t agree more! Many of my main complaints with the Kubota svl 75-2 seem to have been addressed in this newly updated model
my dealer had one in stock and he showed it to me and its runs pretty nice and sures not bad for $8,600 plus it uses same parts from there 16.5hp kubota tractors wich kinda smart same tractor air filters,feul filters,oil filter and same starters and other tractor engine parts wich makes it so much eayer comparing other branded generators have waite long time for there parts from alot of different shops @@dirty.diggers
Nice Machine... i am getting one this year as well. Nice review I have narrowed the choices down to the SVL 75-3 and the John Deer 325G.. Congratulations!
Thank you! I haven’t spent too much time with the John Deere skidsteers only a handful of times. But we have a variety between Takeuchi, Gehl, Case, Terex and Kubota. I personally prefer the Kubota skidsteers. Many of the cons they used to have such as poor venting, noisy cab etc seem to have been improved in this newer model. Very excited to get it to work in the summer regularly to see performance now 😁
Very nice money maker. Good review on this machine. The best part of your video is the interaction between you and your son. A father’s love can never be challenged. These are just moments that you and your son will cherish forever. PRICELESS! 😊
Thank you! Appreciate the very nice comment and checking out the video! Very excited to see how the machine performs now after a good amount of hours on the job 😁💪 🍻 🍻
@@dirty.diggers Couple reasons. First I had a 20 loaded 75-2 that was like new, and sold it for what I paid for it new. So the carry over money let me upgrade to the 97-2 for mid 60’s after. I also wanted the extra capacity for site prep. I have a Kx040 as well and knew I would be adding a wheeled 65 for the smaller stuff. Kubota makes excellent machines at a great price point. There financing is a no-brainer as well.
I know on my 75-2 that’s where that dpf button was, but I think on these new ones now it’s where the auto reverse fan is. Since the radiator is not horizontal I guess it’s more prone to dust landing on it which is why the fan is important to keep blowing it clear. You can set it on screen for interval times to come on or just hit that button to turn it on I believe. Next time I’m in the machine I’ll double check that though 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful machine! My mechanic has talked me into selling my bobcat and going kubota. I just can’t justify 145k on a machine that I usually use mostly for snow. But on the flip side, I’d rather plow in luxury lol
I sold mine after 100 hours. The machines are built too short for the tracks lacking power like all of them right now the machine will pop a wheelie on steep grade. Easy to maintenance definitely but to light in the front because of that. If you know you know would not buy another Kubota they've had so many issues. Do not like how the cab is set up. A cup holder is behind your right shoulder. If you miss a button on the code by accident, you have to start all over the window. Hit you in the back coming when you're coming out. There's no way to close the window from outside the cab
I agree with you on some of that for sure. The cupholder placement I did end up making a story about. Don’t think I noticed that during this video. The door can be a bit annoying to close on the way out for sure, but I wouldn’t trade that minor inconvenience for the overall design of the door going overhead. As for the balance, I only got about 50-60 hours on it right now. But I never found that an issue with the other svl 75-2 machines we had. Have you used the older model Kubota?
Just purchased same machine, always owned Bobcats, looked at kubota before but cab noise was unbearable, - 3 is the opposite, cab is pressurized and quiet.
Yes! The -2 series was very noisy I couldn’t for the life of me make a phone call and operate it at the same time 😂 Very much looking forward to the new cab desgin for that
They want 100k here in Canada for one and I think theyre a nice upgrade over my SSV 75-2. That said theres a 20k delta between it and my 2020 SSV. I plan on trading in my ASV RT120F because its way too big for most projects but 100k for a model in this class is not worth taking a bath on my trade in.
Yes all depends like you said, many jobs the bigger models can’t get access etc. where they fit it’s great but if you don’t fit they’re worthless lol it’s all a balance but I find the mid size skidsteers to be the best sizes for us. That being said most of our work is tight residential so we have this size and smaller like terex/ASV pt30
yeah we bought a 47.5hp kubota l4760 pretty desent price for trade of the beat up deere and got the kubota for $30,000 with blower,loader,forks and bucket wich was pretty cheap for a 47.5hp unit way cheaper then deere wich they wanted rediculas $89,800 for a small 35hp tractor alone wich was rediculas @@dirty.diggers
$175,000 CAD for Bobcat T87 ! It lifts slightly higher and can lift slightly more but wow expensive! I can't justify upgrading to another Bobcat at those prices!
Holy!!!! That is insane! I’ve always heard Bobcat was very overpriced. Recently I’ve heard a lot of complaints with them in terms of service and performance too. Not sure never owned one but every time I did operate one I wasn’t a fan of it
@dirty.diggers I really like my 2015 bobcat S850, ergonomics are great. I guess everyone gets used to their own machine. I've rented a few other machines and certain things are better or worse
@dirty.diggers I've tried a few larger newer kubotas yeah, overhead door is great, on bobcat I can NOT open the door if I have the work platform on my forks still! So lame. I do not like the DEF on my machine but I do prefer it to Kubotas regen system. Kubota has super smooth hydraulics too
Great Skidsteer, Awesome Father. We need to spend more time with our boys just like this Father. Good Job Sir
Thank you! Much appreciated! And yes you are correct, nothing like some outdoor action playing with dirt 🤙

Gorgeous new machine, Sir. Congrats on it!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment and watch 👊👊
Congratulations on the new purchase, looking forward to new vids.
Thank you! Very excited to make some 😁😁👊👊
Honestly this is a great machine for only being around 70k usd. The competitors would be 10-20k higher for similar models
I tend to agree with you! Great machine for great value 💪

Oh very nice! That’s a much bigger machine. Why did you upgrade the size?

Which model are you looking at?
@@dirty.diggers SVL 75-2
@@Jay-it3ze yeah that’s why I was asking which model he was getting. Does seem very high. You can get a svl 75 for about 100k Canadian

What is the price for that machine in you area???
