I finally pick up my new Skid steer!

What happens here

The video begins with the arrival at McFarlanes dealership. The owner discusses with Cory, a representative from McFarlanes, the key differences and benefits of upgrading from the Kubota SVL65-2 to the Kubota SVL75-2 compact track loader. They compare features such as horsepower (SVL65-2 at 67 HP vs. SVL75-2 at 74.5 HP), weight (SVL65-2 around 7,000 lbs vs. SVL75-2 around 10,000 lbs), ground pressure, and cab comfort, including seat options like the air-ride seat suspension available for the SVL75-2. This discussion helps justify the upgrade based on performance needs for various earthwork and turf projects.

Goal: Understand the benefits and differences of the Kubota SVL75-2 over the SVL65-2.

What they say

company's needs. Okay, we got there. Let's see how our "leaker" is doing. Zero. Absolutely nothing. Zero. OK. So, we are moving towards improvement. In my opinion, we are improving. According to others, maybe we are just changing. Yes. In some cases, of course, when you and I first talked about this, I honestly thought you were doing more work, like with lawns or something like that. So it was important for me to try to reduce the pressure on the ground. Now, I think, when you've worked on the 65 a little longer, you've realized that the 75-class power you're used to is exactly what you need. So we'll get a little less ground pressure, a little more weight, and a little more horsepower. We gave her a fair chance for 3 months. I think you mostly liked what this car had to offer. Your limitations were only on power and, I guess, traction on the tracks due to weight ratio. I think there will be a significant and noticeable difference in performance between the 65th and 75th models. And I say that because we're not only increasing the power, but we're also reducing the contact area of ​​the tracks with the ground, which means that if you knew, they have this pound-for- pound calculation. Well, if they had a pound-for- pound power calculation, I think 75 would be pretty noticeable to a guy like me, because we're tuned to that 75 class. That's always been our "golden rule." It was always the car we really liked, the one we relied on, and when we switched to the 65, the difference wasn't that big. Mhm. But it was enough for me to understand: Mom wants a little more. I want a little more. So the good news is the simplicity that you and I talked about and that you love. You still have that door. You still have, you know, those handy on-off switches and all that. So you won't notice any difference when you're in the operator's seat. The cabins are the same, right? Aren't they identical? Almost. Almost. So, it's the exact same cabin, the exact same doors. Technically, there is more space in this cabin . And that's why they were able to install a larger, full-size seat there. And then they're going to...where they cut corners a little bit , they were able to put in a smaller seat to give the impression that the 65th model is as big as the 75th cabin. Oh, so they cheated a little . Of course. But these tricks are invisible. So in this model you have a full-size seat, and it's actually a seat from a wheeled vehicle. So it is smaller. So this is more comfortable for…
