SVL75

[ddivinia]

Any owners on here?

I have been looking at CTLs and the Kubota SVL75 seems like the right mix. I really like the roll up inside door. The price seems good also.

I am looking at a SVL75 cabin air machine for $51K new.

Comments?

i love mine, i ran Cat skiddsteers for years but I switched and am very happy. Plenty of power, smooth controls. and quiet. The only complaint I would have would be you cant quite see the outside edge of the bucket when operating. luckily I bought a 4 in 1 bucket with mine which is a tad longer and with this one you can see the front edges,

What CAT did you have before?

The roll up door seems like such a win. JD used to have them

The dealer still has some without the DPF (diesel emission stuff). The 75 hp emission law stuff kicked in end of 2012. That is one reason I am really thinking of jumping on the deal. I believe a 75hp is plenty for what I need.

How long have you had your machine?

What attachments do you have for it?

Have you had to do any repairs?

I want to run a sprayer on a tree shear. On the CAT it has a plug I would plug into. I didn't see one on the Kubota. I wonder if that is an option.

we have 25 or so out, they have been very good so far.

Good to hear.

What is the scoop on the emissions. What is Kubota's plan for emissions o the SVL75?

Which years don't have the DPF or any other stuff?

Thanks,

SVL75-2 is in the pipe with Tier 4. SVL90-2 is already out. The non -2 models don't have SCR.

That change is pushing me to buy a SVL75. I like them simple.

I will have mine within 2 weeks or so. Have been waiting on land pride to ship their stump grinders.

I am having a hard time sleeping.
