What happens here

Stan attaches a long-floor bucket to the SVL97-2 and proceeds to dig into a hardened dirt and asphalt path next to the building. He expertly maneuvers the machine, pushing through tough terrain and even popping out a large stump without hesitation. Stan emphasizes that the machine moves dirt effortlessly, comparing its power to a loader moving snow. The footage, shot from inside the cab, highlights the machine's impressive power and smooth operation.

Goal: Demonstrate the skid steer's power and digging capabilities.

it's still the same door that what you're used to but okay with the lexion door system it doesn't have a crack in the middle of it at least well we changed with this and this was a change for us so we used to buy them from fecon we used to buy them from Diamond Products um which are different mulching companies um this one's called the Perry company so what's different about this and I thought you'd be a good test dummy for it is this is actually clamped on not glued on so the problem with Lexi on doors so you can notice that it's clamped on right here the problem with Lexi on doors is they scratch they're not glass so for us now if you let's just say scratch this real bad and you want to get a replacement you only have to get the replacement lexion and you can just undo the the clamps on that and slide in a new new door nice so to me I really like this idea of it um we're still utilizing the same door that we we always did before but damn that is a nice looking cab the cabs yeah the Cab's a little bit bigger than what your 75 is not by a lot so the 65 75 and 97 all share the exact same door so we know width is going to be the same this is a definitely a BP girl what the heck is this thing that'll be your backup camera why is that different you don't have one on your 75 do you no yep so it's standard in this this is standard standard um the other thing that's standard that you can't see and I'm not going to point out where it's at is uh the telematic system so this machine comes standard with telematics so the telematics are going to allow you well you just lock your door because you're worried the telematics what's really cool is you can actually geofence this machine so it becomes a brick when you leave the job site with it so you have all those capabilities of being able to check in on it see where your depth level is at see where your fuel level's at before you ever go to that job site and that's all through the my Kubota app you can geofence that let's say for whatever reason it gets uh stolen from you yeah you literally can put inhibit restart now it's going to put the machine in the limp mode so the person can still be able to load it but they will never be able to restart that machine after you do inhibit restart on it really the other thing that's nice for us on a dealership level and for you as a consumer is you're going to see active error codes populated on that and not like before where it's going to populate here which still will and then…
