What happens here

Next, the Kubota SSV65 skid steer is presented. It's a 65 horsepower machine, meaning it falls below the 75hp threshold requiring DEF. This allows for a less cluttered engine compartment and easier access to components like the battery, fuel tank (located on the door), and various filters. The presenter appreciates this design for its simplicity and ease of maintenance, contrasting it with the DEF-regulated New Holland model.

Goal: Evaluate the Kubota SSV65 skid steer's engine access and design benefits.

thing I'm a little more old-school than this to me is more comfortable so when i crack this open I'm like yes I like the Bears the battery there's everything laid out this is the way I'm used to seeing things you're you're also kind of comparing apples and hand grenades because that is a Maggie horsepower machines gets a this gotta be 74 this is 65 okay anything over 75 horse now has to have that fluid so this one does not have death it's obviously with the death fluid you have to have room for the tank that's where things start getting a little crowded in the back yeah yeah for this one like I said we don't have death so but same kind of ideal design is everything is in I shot when you'll press the back door you also have your fuel tank on the door yes all right so that's one of the things that you guys should look at right here so when the door is resting on the frame and when the doors closes resting on the frame so all the way to this is this being jarred on the hinges yes right so that's an important thing a lot of companies are putting their fuel tank in the dirt isn't the first time I've seen this now no this and is there a benefit as a space savings to give more room inside the engine back to the emissions control even with the 75 for some lowers you still got to have an image so with the catalytic converters and everything else that they have now you still need to make room okay so that's why a lot are going to the back door plus its counterweight good things from Kubota [Music] all right you guys this next one we're looking at is a hande mini excavator and
