![kubota SCL has BIG problems ! I’m calling kubota (SCL 1000) [Inground pool construction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xgSu_lde7fM/mqdefault.jpg)
They need to build a 1500 to compete with the most popular machine on the market, the best-selling SK 1750. There's a two-year waiting list for that machine.
As a contractor in search of an SK1050 this machine from Kubota is hard to ignore. Solid video, really appreciate the depth of information!
Glad we could help Jordan. Thanks for watching!
Unless they make significant changes before release I can assure you that you'll get much better performance out of the 1050
@@wpog8453 What significant changes are you referring to? Thanks for your input!
@@campstrat the 1050 is just a more powerful and capable machine. They are not really in the same class. If you notice in the video. They didn't design this unit to be a superior performer. They're trying to strike the middle of what's practical for a lot of guys and make a unit that has respectable capacity and still be able to get into tiny gates and whatnot.
@@campstrat the engine is actually the same engine used in the SK600. They just put a different tune on it and added a turbo. This thing is not gonna have a ton of muscle.
I worked at a fence company with a tracked toro dingo 420. Had bucket, forks, post hole auger. It Was pretty sweet. Glad to see more companies jumping in the market.
I tried buying one of these, found a dealer in Minnesota that supposedly had 5 of them, the even assigned sock numbers on the web site, but when I contacted them, they indicated they had none in stock, no pricing, and no idea when they would have any units or pricing, with growing frustration over the delayed launch, which I understand is a Kubota trait, I finally went with a ditch witch sk800, for my applications, (electrical contractor), the added width was not an issue, and after trying an sk600, felt that the narrower machine was an actual hindrance when operating in a side hill, the wider machine just feels much more stable, I guess time will tell if I made the correct choice, but Kubota clearly lost a customer in this case with not following thru on intro/delivery time frame
Vermeer
I love our s600, and so many great upgrades since they first launched...
Our next will be the diesel engine option (Tree work) Vermeer
As of 2/4/21 still not to dealers. Very interested will be a great additikn to my landscape company. Was going to buy a skid steer but after using one this week. I am buying a mini skid very soon.
Great review. I see value in landscaping, moving materials, top soil, compost into greenhouses, cleaning out poultry houses or small barns. Very useful as bigger John Deere tractors cannot maneuver in those tight of spaces. Want one!
Tree Service/ Vermeer
A lot of good info . Shows you did your homework . A+
Can't wait!
Very informative video! 👍🏼
Small business owner. I am looking for entry level. Not a tank. Nimble, powerful, reliable but very affordable while I build the business.
The Vermeer CTX100 at 1000 pound capacity also has the 88 inch hinge pin height. Nice video but check your competition facts.
I also thought the bigger Vermeer 100 and the 160 has turbos ??
I need one! they need to hurry up and make it available
I need one and I'm still waiting for it! My dealer has no idea of it's arrival date. Hopefully before the end of this year 2020
Where are the SVL95s currently made?? Thanks for your video on the SVL97s! I would have bought a 95 in December but now Im waiting for the 97s to arrive next month, THANK YOU!
I tried to buy one. The dealer never had a clue as to what I was talking about. I really liked the machine as seen on the internet, but I needed one ASAP. So, I bought a Bobcat MT100-which took 7 weeks to come in, and the Kubota still isn’t available.
I'm in the same boat. Going to look at a mt100 tomorrow. How do you like yours?
Looks like a great machin. Been looking at mahindra tractor for a while with back hoe but versatility function and size even as far as towing has me back w the mini track skid steers.
My company currently operates a SVL-75 and a KX-057 to do tree work in the Southeast. The material we handle is heavy, of course. But, making additional cuts to reduce material size and weight is certainly more affordable than owning and transporting equipment that is larger and heavier than the equipment I currently have. In the future I will buy smaller, lighter equipment.
I don't know if you can get a message to Mr Boulds but if you can tell him i said hi. I worked with Tim when he came to kubota to work in the mini track hoe division from the case/ih co. he is a caring and very capable person to have on your side. HELLO TIM!!!!!!!!! from Sibley Illinois
I like it. I'd like to see a wheel loader mini that articulates in the middle. Like the ditch witch zahn r300
Nice stuff.. concerned that it will be very tippy on side slopes with such a narrow track width. Is there any measurement of the sideways tip angle? Is there a way to add a fold down or Plug On seat? Are all of these Mini's using hydrostatic drive?
Awesome video which brand is the least expensive
I bought the bobcat mt100 wider tracks, and an additional pair of narrow trucks at my local dealer $29,450
And I already made enough money with
I love my mt100 it's powerful I customized a 4 in 1 bucket for it, I just ordered a high dump bucket to increase the pin High to 126in not bad,
There are a lot of other machines that can make you money right now while waiting for the SCL 1000,
I'm sold
my local dealer said they are getting 4 and only selling 3 .. just incase they need parts.. would love one but i might get a used sk755 , and look at this after its been out for a couple years.. looks freaking amazing tho
Parts and machine inventory are a big headache for dealers everywhere right now, no matter what machine we're talking about. We've talked to some dealers with lead times still in the 45-60 day range. Hope you find what you're looking for!
Will the Kubota run the industry standard mounting plate or will you be stuck with proprietary attachments?
They're either common interface or mini Bob-tach. I ordered mine with the CII
I used a dw 800 great machine from a rental, but I bought a scl from availability and price point, dw is an overall better machine as far as controller layout, scl is a tippy machine without an attachment still a great machine, platform feels small, great beginner machine from price power and lifting capacity, I believe it can lift close to 2k
Mantap 👍👍👍
I like it, I wish they had this earlier. I have a ditch witch SK 650. I may get this machine and I wish they someday have the greaseless pins for maintenance.
How many hours do you get out of your non grease able pin bushes? On the Australian made dingo we only get around 100 hours out of the tilt ram one and are going back to a greasable one.
@@scottstirling8047 I'm at 700hrs, and by the way they look I can easily see them lasting till 2000
I bought the Kubota over the Ditch Witch partially because the Kubota has grease fittings.
Does the Kubota SCL 1000, is there a snowblower for this unit?
Great review, but giving the MSRP would have been really helpful. Limited attachments could be a concern. Curious what style of mounting it uses. Could competitor attachments be used on it?
CII or mini Bob-tach. Mine is CII
It is mentioned that these machines are also geared towards tree care businesses , but didn't mention attachments such as a grapple to be utilized...
When will this be available in Australia and will we get it direct from Japan?
Can not find any specs on aux flow and pressure, ground clearance. Anyone.
Sk1050 comes with wide or narrow tracks. Narrow tracks make the machine 36” wide
For me it’s between the Kubota Scl 1000 and the ditch witch sk1050. I think I would have to go with the ditch witch because I live in the mountains of Virginia and the little bit extra hill stability with the 6” wider ditch witch is more important than being able to fit through a gate for me.
It’s not wider he’s wrong. They make 2 versions of the 1050. Wide track and narrow track.
Great machines. Use the Ditch Witch and others. Not interested in the walk behind.
I just bought one for tree work. We're only a week in to ownership, but it's a great little machine so far. I bought it specifically for access, not power.
Is the mounting plate going to be different from industry standard? If not, are they planning on making more attachments like stump grinders, tillers etc. ?
Mounting plate is either CII or mini Bob-tach. Mine is CII, so I can run attachments from DW, Vermeer, etc.
my biggest concern is the controls. The mt55 has the best controls for safety i have used yet. I do like how they put a bar on top so one can grab, just like the mt55.
Bobcat sucks because the attachments aren’t universal like all the others.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 bobcat attachments are universal with all other skidsteers. we use the same attachments as a big skidsteer uses, cant do that with kubota
Dan Kruger yes but full size skid steer attachments aren’t made to run on smaller machines, they don’t run full capacity without proper hydraulic flow. Mini attachments work perfectly with the size machine.
@@chriskarsseboom2200 all three of are working mt55 and one mt52 can run Cat hammers hd65 or h55 just fine. there standard 12gpm works most modern attachment easily. Been running mt55 and mt52 for 6 years everyday for 9 months out of the year working concrete replacement. Most people question the bobcat mt's ability, do to there size and have no idea what there talking about.
What's the price of a SCL1000?
Back in the late 80s a British company Powerfab had a 34 inch skid steer loader which could lift 500kgs. It could take all the attachments listed and had a self trailing kit which meant you could tow it to and from job sites. JLG industries also had a similar machine, but not as strong or robust. Tracks could be added to the tires.
11 hp Honda four stroke gas or Kubota 13 hp Diesel engine choice. The Powerfab was way ahead of its time along with a 125 mini excavator, a 180 tracked excavator with offset digging and 1200kg 360 excavator all of which had digging depths of 7’6”.
Question: If I tip this over sideways, how many friends do I need to flip it back up? I can barely lift an 800 lb Harley up.
What’s the price on these SCL1000’s?
Instrument panel is a LCD screen, if it failed to display, no more controls and no status, under the element it's not a reliable design.
How much do they cost ?
I own to ditch witch 1050s, they are definitely only 36 inches wide
Overall Length without attachment? Height? Price? Aux flow gpm? Rear approach angle?
Just a few questions that haven't been answered yet...
our local dealer said they havent even been given a price or any info about it yet.. he was thinking around 30k.
New holland and Catapillar need to make a mini stand on skid steer
You mean, Cat needs someone else to build it and then they slap the Cat sticker on it...
We just got the new mt100 and I can’t be happier with it
When will this be available in Canada?
not sure im gonna see my dealer about one there is kubota generator avaliable the gl serie,sq,j series
scholtens can ship ya any kubota equipmet to ya if ya want
You can get a U17, tracked hyd dump wheel barrow and have money leftover for the price of the scl1000. Looks cool but $40k is a bit bright.
Those are two totally different products lol they could buy a two wheeled dolly and really save some money by your thought lol
@@treeman765 Combined, they would accomplish most of what the SCL could do. Still a cool machine, and not a direct comparison.
I kind of wish there was less talking and more info. Seems like there are a lot of unanswered questions...price, weight, availability, universal tool mounts....looking for better comparisons with less banter...though there was some info mixed in...appreciate the effort
You can’t even compare the dingo 3000 to a 1000 machine.
Yeah bobcat had one of those years ago. Nothing to see here
It's 65 thousand aud can get a decent machine for that price
'for tree work' but they dont even have a grapple attachment...
Suh-line-a 😉
Your wrong dude. Ditchwitch makes the 1050 in width of 36 inches.
How many grease points??? That’s all I care about.
Bobcat MT has 30
DW sk800 has 0
Yeh but cost all most the same price ad a normal size bobcat
it is not wide and easy flip over
Same song and dance where you get one ,you cant
Less machine , more people in this video is quite disappointing.
Hurry up and take my money....
Bobcat is way better
Why?
