What happens here

The host then introduces the Kioti SL750 Skid Loader, emphasizing that it is a prototype. Key features include extensive protection built into the front, steel reinforcing over cylinders, and steel around the quick-attach points, with additional bolt-on steel in areas prone to damage. The cab boasts an open-door design that slides up, offering better visibility and ease of access similar to an excavator. The control layout is familiar to those used to Kubota or Takeuchi, utilizing pilot joystick controls for direct, true hydraulic feedback. The engine is a 74 horsepower unit, aiming for the popular mid-size frame. The radiator design allows for easy swing-out access with just two bolts, facilitating maintenance. Kioti aims to offer competitive pricing and a strong warranty that exceeds the industry standard of 2 years/2000 hours, along with a large dealer network. The host expresses confidence in the machine's perceived quality due to its robust design and thoughtful engineering for serviceability.

Goal: Assess the new Kioti SL750 Skid Loader prototype, focusing on its durability, controls, maintenance, and market positioning.

So, starting here at the front of the machine, you can see we've got a lot of protection built in here. A lot of steel over the cylinders. So, we try to do a good job with some durability components here. We've even added just recently, and this is still a prototype, we even started to add some more steel around some of the power uh quick attach. Exactly. >> And so, we were trying to do a lot in the front. You can see we've also done some bolt-on. Some of these get bent up in here. So, we've tried to spend a lot of time up here with some dirt. >> Replaceable grip grips.

The door slide like an excavator door slides up. Um, you know, a lot of customers are trying are steering a little bit towards this door and so that's where we started.
