Pro tip- I have operated both and concur with you assessments. Turn the throttle down to 75% or so on the 97 until you get a good feel for it. This will take some of the jerkyness out and give you better control. It's better to go slow and smooth than fast and reckless. Good job!
Ur right. We have a 75 and a 95. The 75 is so smooth. Best loader I’ve ever operated. And the 95 is a pure workhorse. Great at digging and moving material
I’ve got both, I want to say the 97 is my favorite, I really love it, but have to admit that most of the time o just grab the 75-2. Aroubd my property it. Feels more nimble, and doesn’t tear up the ground or gravel half as much as the 97 does. However I absolutely love the power of the 97, and will never sell it. Reality says all I need is the 75, however if I had to sell one, I’m keeping the 97 and selling the 75. Next up, a complete delete package for the 97
Helpful review. I am impressed with the 75-3 redesign and i hear it is coming in 24 for 97. Being my first machine after bring away from flatwork and pool construction for years, i plan to start with 75-3, get a year or two under the belt and consider trading up if what I am pursuing requires more horsepower and bucket capacity. By then the 97 will have improvements and a big brother.
97 has only been around for 2 years , you will see wheeled machines in -3 series first . Be a while on the 97. Also in development is a smaller track loader, like size of bobcat t140. Also has suspension undercarriage
The 75-3 relocated the fuel tank for ballast so it can handle a little heavier load. Hard to find right now. Check one of those out when they become more available.
I'm in the market.... glad I ran across your video. Considering the 95 as well , since power is there and the improvements to the 97 over the 95 are evolutionary and NOT revolutionary based on what I've seen.
@@MartinezHQLove your videos. So I’m in the mist of buying a skid dealership want 83k for 75-3 but they have the 97-2 for only 92k what do you think. I mainly want it for junk removal, rent it out , pond fill , bruh hog , spread dirt . Will I be fine with the 75-3 ??
Thanks for watching. Yes, happier everyday. Now that I can operate it smoother and quicker it’s a joy getting bigger jobs done in a timely manner. It’s really clear now that the 75 would’ve been a bad choice for me.
You have to use foot throttle for regular jobs Hand throttle only for attachments If you dont work it like this you gonna damage the engine and hydaulic pump and drives. If you work it this way, as the time goes you gonna start to understand the machine better.
Sorry that is just not true. These machines are made to run full throttle. The foot pedal is great for fuel saving and only needing the speed and power when bucket functions/heavy loads are needed
I rented a TL10 before I purchased my machine. I really wanted to go with the Takeuchi but the electric over hydro controls did not feel natural and I really did not like the seating/hand position of the controls. Those are my minor complaints. But real talk, the Takeuchi may be a better machine from all the research I’ve done.
That’s a tough one. I would try really hard to rent one or see if rental company will let you try each around in their yard a bit. Just to get a general feel. Personally I would lean a little more towards the TL8.
@@bossturbo not sure how they would even know, if you just gutted the stock DPF. Only thing else that is done is the DEF pump gets unplugged. Diagnostic wise you cant tell

And has added counter weights. Add on of coarse

Good video commenting for your algorithm.
Thank you 🙏

@@alphadetailingjay2050 I would stay with the 75 👍
Great video! Thanks for sharing. The 97 is the BEST for me, love the extra size and reach. 75 is more 'tippy' when the bucket is high.
Im considered a 97, just demoed a cat 265 yesterday, very impressed but price is much better on kubota
Great review. Question. Are you still happy with your choice? I have an 75-2 and am considering upgrading to the larger machine.

Awesome! Great review BTW.
We are getting a 65 test drove it very smooth compared to are bobcat
Nice
95 runs on 1/3 of revs rhan 75.
95 cheaper on fuel as lot less revs. Turning circle is horrible.
75/2 off it head with noise.
95 noise is much lower.
You have to use foot throttle for regular jobs
Hand throttle only for attachments
If you dont work it like this you gonna damage the engine and hydaulic pump and drives. If you work it this way, as the time goes you gonna start to understand the machine better.
I have to disagree. Full Throttle to prevent clogging the exhuast filters and foot pedal only for attachments.
The machine also operates a lot smoother on full throttle.

Have you tried the Tl8? I want to see how it all compares

@@MartinezHQ thanks fir the reply!
Any issues in the year you have had thiz machine?
@@mikeadams2339 not a single one. And we run it a lot. At least 1 jobs per week. Sometime several jobs a week.
Is there a noticeable difference in cab space for tall folks?
You should’t have a problem in either one, both seem to have plenty of room. 👍
Should I buy Takeuchi TL8R2 or Kubota SVL75-3
Any advice?
That’s a tough one.

Pro tip, get your equipment deleted by TM AG Tuning as soon as you have emissions issues
true, but my local Kubota dealer will not touch a deleted machine if repairs are needed
@@bossturbo not sure how they would even know, if you just gutted the stock DPF. Only thing else that is done is the DEF pump gets unplugged. Diagnostic wise you cant tell
I guess one should leave the def fill cap then. I've seen those removed and plated.
We dont remove anything, we just unplug the pump and drain the tank
