2024 Kubota SVL 75-3 300+ Hour Review

[@tcmoney1321]

Definitely add some mulching videos and a review of the machine and head for mulching

[@wolverine89893]

That has to be the cleanest track and engine set-up I have ever seen most tracks are buried in dirt etc. Good Job on keeping your brand new machine clean 😊

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Maintenance is key to keeping the machine running. I’m religious about keeping the engine bay clean for fire hazards. I never touch the tracks though lol. This machine does a really good job at keeping the tracks clean. The only buildup is behind the drive sprocket. Everything else usually stays clean.

[@RodrigoGarcia-ck9rz]

Did you get the reversible fan option

[@RodrigoGarcia-ck9rz]

Never mind

[@tuckt6180]

Outstanding

[@brentromine1505]

Yes, would like to see mulching video and details on that mulcher. I’m thinking about same machine purchase.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Can do

[@jeffmayeux1692]

I agree with the above comment about a mulching head review. And some mulching action!

[@daelik5401]

yes ty for the vid. only 52hrs on my 75-3 and appreciate the preview on what i can expect. great to hear no mechanical issues so far!

[@kevinwhitener1944]

I got my 75-3 at masons too lol. Love it

[@jasongrinnell1986]

Thank you for the review. Would love to hear the 500 hr review.

[@jasongerbrandt7577]

Sweet units. Great review.

[@thomaslecour2462]

Finally Kubota is following bobcat setup on ease of maintenance, Bobcat has max control which is awesome, remote control a machine from outside making life a dream

[@right8630]

I’d say bobcats is a nightmare to work on at least the older m series but I even think this beats the r series on ease or maintenance and repair.

[@thomaslecour2462]

@@right8630 I only know of the maintenance aspects of skid steers, bobcat is very nice and easy to work on, the other nice feature Bobcat has is the max control option, remote control from my iPhone, all other skid steer manufacturers dropped the ball on having this, all I can say is amazing to have, I’ve had on my Bobcat for 2 years, no problems or issues

[@right8630]

@@thomaslecour2462 that’s cool but to say a bobcat is easy to work while I own one is very silly 😂 love bobcat but the overpricing and tricks my local dealer has done might cause me to go with the new Kubota svl 75-3 they finally matched but the financing with Kubota is just better and the lift height is just better than bobcats and that matters too me. Who cares about controlling a skidsteer with their phone? It’s a work piece of equipment. The t66 vs svl75-3 are equally as good and Kubota included a bucket bobcat wants to charge 3k for a bucket before I got a quote from Kubota now they want to pay for half but that still 1500 bucks for something that should be included. I’m sorry but bobcat is living fat and sassy off their rep unfortunately they nickel and dime you. In the end I’m deciding between the two both ended up being the same price after I had to play games with bobcat which is ridiculous but I get better financing from Kubota just saying brand loyalty isn’t good for anyone even though I love bobcat I’m probably not going to buy another one.

[@BrushCommando]

Hey, Your mulcher arms are still in the shipping position! Switch the ones in the back around and it will tilt down.

[@thirdhandearthworks]

Great review, thank you! Would definitely love to see your take on the mulching head as well as seeing it in action!

[@chrisfinney1905]

You should make mulching videos. I just remembered where I've seen you.. you were on Brian's lawn maintenance for shop tours for the younger guys in the industry.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

I plan on it. I forgot about KZbin sometimes lol. Check out my instagram for more active content and videos about the trip.

@stiehllandscaping9768 I don't do insta or tiktok anymore. I loose track of time to easily and be scrolling for Hours and Not realize it. So KZbin is my Poison now. Lol 😆 🤣

Nice review! Answers alot of the questions I have about purchasing one! Great video!!

Are you still mulching? What are your thoughts now on the machine and the mulching head pairing? How many acres per day could you do on this job? Could you make another video now it’s been almost a year for review?

[@MrJamesIreland]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the machine!

[@rootedreliance9463]

Where did you get the circle decal stickers?

[@benmowry4164]

We just bought a SVL -65 brand new it’s nice

[@xombifpv7528]

I’m gonna be doing this type of work in Florida , how do I go about estimating something like this?

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

That brush getting down in the back from the spaces on both rear side...i'm sure you could build smth to cover those & greatly minimize that intake

[@aalonzo1213]

Nothin runs, like a kubota!

[@mrfine00]

Mine is 150 hours, got the same position rear scratch on the back door. Let me ask you this, how to get water out of the floor under the machine?

[@csaa1980]

Remove the belly pans

[@DavidYmail]

What mulcher model are you running?

[@jerryalfonso4535]

What brand and model mulcher is that Ty

[@zackeryarnett9454]

Hey man I wanted to let you know that echo is coming out with a new echo pb 9050 backpack blower this year and you should check it out at equip expo this year

[@wheelzup7597]

how much does that mulching head weigh? how does the machine handle the weight?

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

I believe 1800. Don’t quote me. Handles it perfectly. Not tippy at all.

[@joenewman4013]

What dealer did you get it from

[@medicsimmons80]

As a tall guy, do you feel like the screen location is a deal breaker?

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

I like the screen location because I do not have to look up when backing up. I can glance at the screen while watching the mulcher. I've ran some other machines where the screen is up top and it is trickier to me.

[@CoeGuthrie]

Would love an update video! Hope things are good for you! No videos in quite a while!

[@alexanderwest98]

Hey what size trailer

[@amsc2024]

Hello, have you ran a newer JD 325g ? How would this machine compare?

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Never ran a John Deere. They look like good machines but I’ve seen too many catch fire.

[@s13ef9]

are those the 12 or 15 inch tracks?

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

15

[@machaf]

looks like a bad ass machine.. I want one... What did you pay for it?

[@olivermaskell6244]

Other benefit of a 75 is a smaller machine gives you more chargeable hours, a lot easier to keep that moving. A 75 will do everything a 95 can but a 95 wont do everything a 75 will.

[@adanr150]

At 500 hours how much you. Made $?

[@JustinBoyle-er1gq]

Looking at the 75-3 as well w a Loftness Battle Ax. High flow will be critical for this. Which Loftness are you running? Love to know bc I don’t want a mulcher that is too much for the 75-3. Last question, how is it for grading? I’ve got several acres to grade / landscaping here in VA. Our farm is on a mtn - small mtn - it’s VA not Colorado. Love to get your thoughts on grading w the 75-3. Like you the 97-2 is out of budget. Great review. Thank you.

[@Lucky4wd4840]

Have you run any JCB Track unit?

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

No sir

[@rontopping2048]

Jcb is garbage

[@logansimpson5980]

Great video

[@HARCONSTRUCTION]

I believe that under the arm where the pile of debris is acomulating , it's a plate cover that can be removed for cleaning.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

It would still be nice if it was sealed off.

​@@stiehllandscaping9768nothing a machine shop guy can't innovate & install for you i'm sure

[@dvt3802]

When you become an operator you will use the accelerator as it is intended. Figure out why it is the way it is and you might really like it. And yes I have owned and run that same setup, mostly bigger machines for decades. You'll get it.

[@hellofreeman6653]

How much dust gets in the cab? And how much noise is in the cab

[@9400deere]

the bad part about those machines is the cab is dark and the switchs are not lighting up when you jump in the dark

[@snowmizerjc]

Nice review

[@williameasterly2553]

My 75-3 leaks rear door seal doesn't make contact. I sent back to kubot they put new rear door same problem. I have a standard flow and no reversing fan. The engine compartment has to be cleaned every 20-30 hours. I'm not impressed with my machine or the dealer I purchased from. I'm currently at 130 hours.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Sorry to hear it

[@chrisfinney1905]

Looks like you're in central to west Texas.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Pretty close to the border.

[@chrisfinney1905]

@stiehllandscaping9768 yeah, I live near the coast and I seen the high fencing, short mesquite looking trees, and dusty as hell and we're only at the beginning of March.

Svl75-3 is great machine, everything that was wrong with noisy-2 models has been addressed.

Said perfectly

I was a little disappointed in the power to my track drive train power on my 75-3 also

[@rontopping2048]

View to tracks is great but just as good in bobcat r series, i own bobcat t66 and kubota svl75-3. You may want to check that again. Lol

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

I’ve ran a T76 multiple times and it has the worst track visibility of any machine I’ve ran. Just my opinion

[@rontopping2048]

@@stiehllandscaping9768 no disrespect but that's impossible, I own t66. And kubota svl75-3. T66 has same cab and design as t76 . Send you picture of both of my machines? Bobcat has better visibility. . Been in business for 30 years. Not my first rodeo. Please don't post false info .

Light guards are out, but stupid expensive - $300+ for some covers.

[@stiehllandscaping9768]

Already ordered them lol. Bought time!

[@claytonfoster8458]

I had a 2020 SVL95-2 running an FAE head, worst machine I’ve ever had. They made some improvements for sure but I see you’re fighting with the “trash funnels” at the lift arms and the dirt leaking through the corners of the door. My SVL95 was so loud I had to wear hearing protection and I choked on the dust constantly because it wasn’t a one piece cab. It had a multitude of other poor designs that appear to have been addressed so no point in talking about it. I switched to Cat 299D3 Land Management and aside from the front door, which has been addressed with their resent model update, it was so superior in every way I would never consider a Kubota to run a mulcher. The only drawback to the Cat was cab space, which again they have improved. I’m 6’1 200lbs and I was snug in there, no room to stretch my legs around but it forced me to get out of the cab to move around which actually felt better at the end of the day. The Cat Land Management was perfectly balanced to the mulcher head so it didn’t tip forward on an incline but all the added weight made is useless for anything residential or landscaping. I’ve ran a GEHL, ASV 120 and a Bobcat with the mulcher head and all had their good points, but nothing compared to the the Cat for long days in the seat bouncing over rocks, ruts and wood debris in road ditches and cattle pastures. Good luck and happy mulching.
