What happens here

Corey, the rental manager, provides an in-depth comparison between the Kubota SVL 65-2 and SVL 75-2. He emphasizes that the SVL 65-2, while having slightly less horsepower, is approximately 1000 lbs lighter and, crucially, has a lower ground pressure of 4.1 pounds per square inch (PSI) compared to the SVL 75-2's 5.2 PSI. This lower ground pressure minimizes damage to surfaces like new sod. He also notes cost-saving measures in the 65-2, such as unpainted hydraulic lines and a standard seat instead of an air-ride suspension. Both models, however, share the same spacious cab. This explanation serves as a direct consultation with a knowledgeable professional, substituting for a deep dive into a physical manufacturer manual.

been more than once where even a mid-sized machine is sometimes just a little too big we get a little bit of a tighter spot and we were like oh god wouldn't it be great to get in a mid-sized machine that doesn't lose a whole lot of power but it's just a little bit smaller yeah so like when you and i first had our conversation um about different sizes of machines uh obviously uh what we had talked about was uh you know you traditionally have always been in a 75 horsepower class machine yep and i look at what you do on you know on a regular basis and i don't know if the 75 was right for you and i felt like if we took a machine that had more track to ground and lighter weight in a 65 horsepower machine i honestly think it fits your situation better in this style of a machine okay so the difference that you're going to have with a 75 versus a 65 yes the 64 the 75 is going to weigh a little bit more uh but you're going to be a 75 horsepower machine but what's interesting with when they made the 65 is you're gonna be about a thousand pounds less but they share the exact same track the difference in this though is you're gonna see how the rear drive drive gear is actually sitting up taller here which is going to pick up the height of the machine okay on the 65 they've actually brought that forward and the machines come down which allows you to have a bigger bigger bogey wheel system on the bottom which means you're going to have more track touching the ground at all times which means it's basic math but you're going to take the weight of machine versus the amount of track that's on the ground which is going to actually be what lowers your ground pressure so i think this machine is going to fit your bill better because you're not going to be tearing up all that new sod and you know everything that you're working with you're still going to have a lot of lift you're still going to have a lot of power with it um i just feel that this machine is more close to what i feel is right for stan versus this one so but if i get this right that machine and this machine have the exact same track yep that machine is up sits up higher so the track is up higher so it actually has less track touching the ground correct where this machine has more track touching the ground and less weight so is there actually like what's have they ever done hey it's like hey you got this much ground pressure on this machine versus this much ground i mean is this yeah so this one i mean like i said…
