I couldn't decide between the 75-2 & 95-2 to use around the ranch mainly. Ended up going with the 75 mainly because of the DEF fluid and price point. I also purchased a Danuser Intimidator to pull mesquites. I have only had one issue with power and it was digging a 20" diameter tree. It did the job but maybe not as fast as a larger machine would have. The roll up door was also a huge plus. Makes communicating with any helpers I can find easy. Have about 30hrs on machine and still love it.
this i what i was thinking too.. 100 for the loader and 50 for any hydraulic rotary attachments... a 4 in one bucket or 6 way blade i wouldn't do the extra 50... maybe 20 for the blade and noting for the 4 in one if i even get one... i don't really care for em..
Rates are different in different parts of the country. Ive been doing excavation since 2001 and charge $1,200 day rate but generally charge by the job. Also i always tell my customers on small quick jobs i have a $350 min never a time min
The 95 runs across the ground a little smoother than the 75 and doesn't buck as much when mowing. (extra weight and longer track) We considered a 75 to buy (was renting) then I demoed a 95 and I was impressed. The 95 didn't run as hot mowing like the 75. Both will destroy a yard if you aren't very careful with your turns. Both are great machines.
I just bought a 95-2. I got the machine ‘17 with 850hrs,trailer,bucket,dozer blade,and a grapple rake all for $55k. I pushed and graded 6 loads of hard pan for a house trailer pad in 30 minutes. I am in love. This is my first skid steer and the same thing sold me. The door,oh it is high flow with the demo door too. I haven’t used the blade yet but I’ve heard the same thing on the blade that its hard to use. I’ll buy a Kubota again if I ever need another machine. Good video brother good luck.
i charge 100 an hour 2.5 hour minimum 10 miles from my house... after that it goes up... if the job is more than 50 miles i will charge for travel at 100 an hour.. looking to buy a track loader soon to add to the equipment line up.. currently have a mini excavator and tractor.
Thanks Cameron. A question. I am planning to rent a SVL-75-2 up north. Plan to do some work on a gently sloping mountain trail that we drive on. It is 8 feet (96") wide. Want to skim off grassy center part of the trail between the tires ruts in the road. Will skim off the top 4 inches by 48 inch wide. It will have some roots and smaller rocks. Do you see any problems with the SVL 75-2 doing the job? Will use a bucket with teeth to cut through any roots and rocks. Your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks much.
starnet36 it depends on what type of work you are doing mostly and the conditions. Are u always on flat ground around the farm or chicken houses or are you a contractor and in different terrains and on hills and soft ground ? The only way I would want a tire machine is if I was on the farm and wasn’t hauling to a variety of job sites. Or even if I was in an industry where I was in a yard of some sort loading trucks where I’m turning a lot I would probably get solid tires. It really just depends I guess.
@@g.aslifestyle The difference is Stability. A rubber tire machine is less stable when grading or carrying a bucket full of dirt over rough terrain. They tend to buck and bounce.
sean Lee im in Northern Ca been doing this type of work for 15 years. I run a 75-2 and a KX121-3 mini ex when i do jobs by the hr i charge $125 per hr $350 minimum. Thanks for the vids keep it up
That's why you have to bid the job complete. Get guys to to the hand work. Charge a couple g's a day. Assume all the risk. Dont tell them 2 gs a day. Tell them what it costs to deliver the finished product. my 2 cents -Charles
What part of North Ga are you in? I’m in Rabun County. Love the Kubota. I have had 2 Kubota tractors.. Currently have 47 HP. Your machine is on my Christmas list.
I very rarely quote by the hr.Im the guy who slips in with an ASV RT 30,small machine and mops up the same rates as the guy with a 90,000.00 machine.Ive been doing it for years.I run a U25 super series hoe,RT 30,and a hooklift truck with rental bins for passive income.Ive learned over the years,be versatile.Like yourself,i do smaller jobs.They pay,and started a new channel as well.
You have the set up. I’ve been wanting a smaller skid for a little while now. The big ones definitely have their place though. You can still dig a pool with a shovel it just might take you a little longer. I have a 95 now and I definitely miss the 75.
Your comment about going with a smaller trailer if you get a bigger machine makes no sense. You got a bigger trailer so you feel safe going down the interstate. How safe will 2k more on a trailer that weighs 2k less feel?! You are likely over weight on your 2500 too.
Blair Land Clearing I don’t need a 30’ dual tandem to haul 1 skid. I could get a 24’ single tire tandem 14k gvrw and be able to haul the same and save a lot of weight and wasted space. Does that make sense?
the minute you walk out of your house to load up for a job your cost of operation starts, loading and transportation costs man power and money and working for free is not an option , these people who whine about pricing can piss off , in my area if i remember correctly its about $300 to rent a skid steer and $150 delivery ONE WAY, so your looking at about $600 to get a machine on site with transportation times included so your lucky to get 6 hours use for the day, but that still doesn't include an operator, these whiners can go spend ass loads of money on their own machine and find out what expensive REALLY IS, hell with em. you dont ever wanna do business with those types of people , by the time you get $100k invested in a truck , trailer , and quality machine its not cheap , stay away from them broke asses who try to beat you down because i guarantee none of them are working for free, and dont forget an easy $200 for decent operator for the day , and thats the low side cost of a good operator
smitty smit amen. Ur exactly right. I think last year I tried to get every job but this year I’m setting my price and that’s that. I’m basing price off of my skill and equipment not on the owners bank account.
im looking into the industry myself, my limit at this point is a half ton Ecoboost , which i think tops me at 12.5k towing but im going brand new skid steer and trailer to mimize breakdowns and keep it moving , breakdowns dont even occur to customers , all these costs add up fast
There is no profit in charging by the hour. If your going to charge by the hour start a rental company. Most companies by machines because they need for type of projects they provide. Landscaping, masonry, excavating, grading, new lawn etc. . Your not in business to make a kubota payment, your in business to make a profit. If your in this machine 8 hours should be making $ 2000.00 or more a day .
Nice machine. A good starting point about pricing should be. Minimum, around your monthly payment per hour. 250 to 350 , and how big is the job. Bottom line you need to make money. If I could ask. How much is that machine new.
Its to bad you didnt wait for the svl 65 to come out if u were concerned with weight great vids btw hope u can get a good video of the slopes youll be on
@@cameronward7137 Yeah I'm trying to decide between the t650 and the Kubota 75. Tough decision! T650 is about 56700 and Kubota is 57500. T650 has better specs all around with only about 300 lbs heavier. I do home remodeling and now getting into new construction. Any thoughts after more time in the machine? I wish Kubota made one in between the 75 and 95.
Cameron Simmons as many times as I have ran my machine with the door open I wouldn’t have it any other way. Over 350hrs on machine now. No problems. Just works. Yea it’s kinda loud on the inside with the door closed and yea the door has 2 water drain holes on the bottom that also let dust in but over all I love it. I would operate both of them before you buy. I don’t mean forward and back and the dealer...actually run one on a job. See if dealer has and any demos you can use.
love all kubota skid steers ssl 75-2 a 75.2hp and svl 95-2 a 95.2hp there both strong beast and best products plus great instant rebates on kubotas wich saves ya more money wich is nice
I stick with 5 as a min as I have to transport the equipment to and from. If I bring a my kx91 out to dig and the svl as support(moving soils ect) I do 8 for the mini and 5 for the svl.. In my area most are a day min charge of 680-770 so 5hrs at 95per is still the better deal
75 is what a charge , carrying tool bag, hammer y a knife. That machine new cost at least 60,000., you can't make money at 75 At the end of 5 yrs. You won't have enough money to replace the unit
