I Bought a 2023 Kubota (SVL 65-2) Skid Steer 

Me too! I think it will pay off for sure ✌

Thank you, Happy Fathers Day! I'm glad you are enjoying the channel and thank you again for the support! ✌

It definitely is like all the christmas's rolled into 1! Such a good feeling! And that tractor has probably been awesome for you with all those attachments. I love the quick disconnect too, and I already got some forks, cant wait! Thanks again for the support ✌

Thanks so much, it certainly does! ✌

Thank you! We enjoy ourselves and try to build quality projects for our customers. I hear you about losing friendships for sure... Some people just don't understand the value of growth in life.

Thanks brother, I can't wait! I hope your season is going well down there ✌

Thank you very much, looking forward to it!

Thank you very much, I sure will!

Thank you, It is a blessing for sure! ✌

It is very cool for sure! Thanks for the continued support brother! ✌

That's awesome, thank you! Those 2 lock pins are very helpful... I know what you mean about the CAT doors, I used Cat skid steers for a couple years and dealt with that problem a lot.... Still very smooth machines though, I like CAT more than Bobcat. Thanks again for the support, plenty of videos to come! ✌

Thank you very much for the support! I think it will pay off in the end for sure ✌

Thank you, it is a pretty nice looking set up. Thanks for the feedback and support ✌

Thanks, they make such nice equipment. Could not agree more ✌

I was pumped man! Thank you for the awesome comment and support of the channel. God bless ✌

Thank you very much! I appreciate the support brother! ✌

It certainly feels pretty good man, I feel very blessed! I have used their tractors a couple times, they are just as smooth as the skid steers. I'm sure it has been very helpful for you, they make awesome equipment for the price. ✌

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thank you, it has been excellent!

✌

It definitely is, thank you very much! ✌

Thank you very much, I sure will!

Thank you!

Thanks man, it definitely will be! I love their machines, could not be happier with my choice ✌

Thank you, I'm pumped! Work hard and stay motivated, that day will come! ✌

Thanks brother! Tracks are key for sure ✌

I can't wait! ✌

Thank you, I certainly try to! ✌

Amen, that is the truth. Thank you! ✌

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I was pumped up for sure! 🤣 Thanks for the support ✌

a quick question have you done a 500 hour service yet ? I was just wondering if I should buy all the filters and stuff from Kubota or get it all from another vendor.. Just thinking out loud. @@TheChristianHardscaper

Thanks!

Thanks! ✌

Thanks brother! I love the door in this thing, I used a takeuchi skid once and I liked that one as well. ✌

Thanks He certainly did, all glory to Him! 👍

Stay motivated and work hard, it will come! Thanks for the support ✌

Yes! No more rentals! Thank you ✌

Thank you, I appreciate that! ✌

Thanks!!

@@TheChristianHardscaper welcome

My pleasure ✌

Yes sir, thank you brother! ✌

Thank you!

Thanks! what do you have? It took me a long time to justify it.... finally the day is here! ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper I bought a kx 033-4. Building trails on my property and doing contract excavation work. Slowly building the business.

I totally agree man, thank you very much! ✌

Thank you, I sure will!

Thank you, I appreciate it! ✌

Yea bro, they are an awesome manufacturer. And I bet the Kubota scl100 is mint compared to the competitors models that are comparable. I still love the mini skids, don't get me wrong.... I just needed something that can pick up an entire pallet of pavers, that is very important for me. ✌

Thank you, I hope so too! I totally agree with you on the luck thing, Good things come when you focus on working towards those things. God Bless you too ✌

I totally agree with that, felt like Christmas for sure! I can already feel the difference in productivity, plus it is way less stressful than trying to get a job done within the time you allotted for a rental... And honestly, the monthly payment is less than a 1 week rental cost for a machine of the same caliber. I am very happy with my purchase! Thanks for the feedback! ✌

Totally agree, I would say it is a top brand as well. But they are very fair with their prices.

Thank you brother ✌

Thank you, I'm pumped!

Good to know, you must have a cool perspective in the building process. ✌

Yea buddy! most expensive sweatshirt I have ever bought.... but worth every penny! 🤣✌

Thank you, I hope the same thing! ✌

Thanks brother! I get that here and there about sounding like him LOL 🤣✌

Oh nice! I really like this machine and all the other Kubota machines that I have ran. Solid products. How old is yours?

@@TheChristianHardscaper Like 2 years old. No issues

That's awesome, good to know ✌

Thank you very much! I can't wait to hear what color he thinks it is! 🤣✌

Looking forward to all the projects with it! ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper goes maker alot money whit tha machine

That's hilarious man 🤣 Believe it or not I have been building concrete paver tee pads off and on for the past year now at a local disc golf course. Been a blast! Here is a link to some of the videos I made of us building the tee pads 👉ru-vid.com/group/PLo6xdtKoDxWYm6l7o_eG5eIG75tCpPUjj

No bumper. Jealous boy. Has heavy steel back door

Thank you very much, I love this machine! It is super helpful in my business because it moves all the materials around on my job sites. It can pick up any pallet of pavers / block I need it too and moves a good amount of dirt and stone quickly. It took me awhile to get to a point where I can justify the purchase but where I am now, it is a necessity so that is why I bought it. Around here in my area, tons of places rent these machines so it would not be easy find people to rent it it thats what you are hoping to do with it. I usually wait to purchase tools / equipment until it is a necessity, so my advice would be to wait until you really need a machine like this, until then rent the machines you need for jobs that come along. ✌

It certainly is not brother... But they say it takes money to make money right? lol. Honestly though, I was spending crazy money on rentals, buying my own machine is actually going to save me money...

Thank you! Unfortunately I do not.... I have done a couple driveways but it was before I started my channel.

Thank you, I talked about a handful of things that made me choose this Kubota but not all the reasons. I will talk about it more in future videos as I work with it and get a better opinion on it. ✌

Very pricey.... But a great deal compared to some of the other manufacturers.

🤣👌

Freakin mint! I love it 👌

The 75-2 is such a nice machine man, I tell people all the time that the bobcat skid steers are super tight inside and have very little visibility.... I priced out a T64 from bobcat because the s590 and s595 is getting harder to find I guess... but when they quoted me $89,000, I quickly shifted away from them and started looking elsewhere. I have never used a kubota machine and not loved it, so finding out this machine was $69,000, no brainer. Looking forward to years of use! I have already picked up paver pallets that weight 3,200 lbs and it was like nothing for it to lift. I assume it could pick up 4,000 lbs but probably can't lift it higher than 50% or it would most likely tip. But for me, a pallet of pavers is the heaviest thing i need to worry about and it has no problem with that. I used a 75-2 for 3 years and loved it, but this 65-2 floats compared to the 75. I like that a lot, easy to turn and it feels so smooth on the asphalt.

You certainly were, closest out of anyone I think. Ahearn was good to me, just took awhile to get it in because it is a not so common model. And yes, I'm Pumped! 🤣✌

Thank you, that is an excellent point. I didn't even think of that, I would hate to have to replace that door because of something like that. ✌

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that happened man. Fingers crossed I do not run into something like that... 🤞

Thank you, I will have to look into the bumper you are talking about ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper I made pattern out of 1/4" plywood then had my local steel shop cnc it out of 3/4 plat steel I wouldn't go any liter then that 1" or 1 1/4" would work better

@@johnhurt1583 That is very smart. They main reason is to protect the back door, is that why you did it?

I never considered the wheeled version, I need the tracks to go over all types of terrain. If the ground is even a little soft the wheels can dig right in and get stuck where a track machine would have no problem. Plus the track machines are more balanced which allows you to pick up more weight than the comparable model with wheels.

@@TheChristianHardscaper .Granted & understood your reasoning. But are you aware of the other options like OTT tracks ? They are awesome in muddy conditions and you can change/install them in 2 hours. All that's needed is to drive on the tracks ,lower the tire air pressure, then use supplied ratchet straps and join the ends together then insert the stainless steel bolts . And re inflate the tires . Now they by no means are the best system out there but I used them for 370 hours without any problems until I accidentally drove over ahidden root .that was a costly repair. Yes tracked machines have their advantages, but to me ,they are not versatile enough for western Alberta were it snows for 4 to 6 months of the year and to do snow removal, you need a certain type of tracks. But keep on posting videos of your adventures and I will watch every one of them. I learn from people's experiences. And I like watching people solve the problems as they work .

Couldn't agree more! ✌

I love this work, so rewarding and nothing better than being outside every day. Most intellectuals can't handle a hard days work and they use their intelligence to lift themselves up. Ecclesiastes 5: 10-12 "Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth-except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep."

Oh sweet, that's awesome! My dealer did not have any in stock and that model is less common so it took awhile for it to be made and shipped from the factory.

🤣 I totally know what you mean! ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper Happy for you my friend that you could afford such a beauty .. Hope she works for you for a long time :D

Nice man, that was the first time I dealt with them and it was a decent experience. I am out of Oxford ✌

It sure will be, cheaper than renting though....LOL

Thank you! And that totally makes sense about the radiator, I'll have to check that out. And yes, the basic regulation for CDL around here is over 26,000 lbs individually or combined. So whether you are empty or loaded, the GVWR is what they go by. My truck and trailer together is 24,000 lbs. Truck - 10,000 lbs Trailer - 14,000. So I am good with that set up. Any bigger skid steer would put me just overweight

Those machines are just too big for my truck / trailer set up. And they are overkill for the work I do.

Yes it is and yes I am! I have done a lot of work with it so far, about 150 hrs on it and very pleased with it's performance. ✌

Here in Massachusetts, yes. Anyone who operates a machine that can lift over 500lbs, needs a (Hoisting License) Hopefully he will have his in the next year or 2

I hear you, crazy world...

Yea, these machines are not cheap.... Some models get up to $120,000..... 👎

That was just a preview clip of what was to come in the video

@@TheChristianHardscaper yeah, I saw as I watched the rest of the video. It was just funny and my initial reaction at the time. Enjoy the new machine!

Nice, lol. thanks you!

I sure did, buying a machine like this not only saves me thousands compared to renting, but helps me get jobs done quicker. I prayed and waited patiently for a few years before I purchased this. I thought about buying used but in my situation, I don't have time to deal with any breakdowns. I needed a machine that will be free of issues for a few years, hopefully...LOL. It was an answered prayer in my eyes and am so thankful for it. ✌

@@TheChristianHardscaper I just watched the episode where you showed how inconvenient the door is on the bobcat. That was really good information that I'm sure will help someone down the road. Awesome work.

Gorgeous right!?

Btw. I believe the Ditch Witch sk3000 full sized "mini" skid will pick up a full pallet of pavers. Don't know the price on them or how the controls compare but I do like the hop on hop off of the minis. No climbing in and out and perfect visibility but it all depends on what you do and personal preference of course.

LOL Thanks! And yes, you are correct. Some of the big mini skids can pick up a full pallet. They are coming a long way over the past 10 years. And they are sweet to just hop on and off of with full visibility. They are comparable to the price of a compact skid steer like this one. ✌

Debatable... I have used one a couple times, not to bad.
