Buen día para importar un ssv65 a Colombia,que precio tiene cabinado

[@d5ncat227]

Couldn't give me a skid steer,,,,,track only,,,,,

[@actionsportster7686]

What is the flow rate (standard and high-flow) of the auxiliary hydraulics? Also, Can you buy this unit with pilot controls in ISO pattern? I didn't see you open/close the cab door and so I'm wondering if it functions in the same way that Kubota's CTLs do.

[@NathanTOrr]

Kubota skidsteers.... A day late and a dollar short!

[@MessicksEquip]

Not at all, Kubota has done fantastically well with this product.

[@davidjones6124]

Can you put counter weights on those models? And what are the dimensions on the ssv65 and the ssv75?

[@onelonleyfarmer]

whats the price of these machines Vs the tracked model?

[@MessicksEquip]

+onelonleyfarmer wheeled machines will be high 30's to low 40's depending how they are equipped. The track machines are 12-15k more expensive. We should be able to fit one on the trailer behind your BigPack :-).

[@onelonleyfarmer]

+Messick Farm Equipment i don't know that big pack is pretty darn big>>:)

[@paulmellor2946]

Looks a good machine but nearly a direct copy of the discontinued U K Belle skid steer ???

[@MessicksEquip]

+paul mellor thats a Thomas skid loader, that and the Kubota have nothing in common. Except maybe some visual commonality.

[@drewgardner81]

I like these machines. They look great

I need one, bad!

[@tonytroxell4921]

Can you get a ssv75 with manual controls. Thank you

[@MessicksEquip]

Hand and foot? Yes

[@jackefrost]

just 2 things that Kubota screwed up on considering they came out with the track one first so this should of had them in it is the pilot controls. don't know to many that still use hand foot and it's not even an option at this point in time ? the other is making a completly sealed cab like the new cats and jcb have my Gehl cab is like that of the kubota and if you need to open in the winter your seals pull apart and need replacing. I do like the fact that you can get at all filters and belt to service what about draining fluids is that easy to get to for the oil and hydraulics?

[@MessicksEquip]

+jackefrost pilot controls will be out around fall. The decision was made to start with hand and foot which is still popular in many areas (mine specifically, its about 60% of the machines out there. Generally the area's where New Holland and Bobcat have done well). I can't say we'e had this seal problem your describing with any of the equipment we sell.

[@jackefrost]

+Messick Farm Equipment It was nice to see the video of the machine , up my way i see more of the pilot controls don't think i could go back to using foot anymore lol but for the price range you mentioned seams to have alot in it what about radio and back up camera?

[@MessicksEquip]

+jackefrost its factory wired for a radio right over your shoulder. At this point there is no factory backup camera options, but any good shop should have some aftermarket options that would fit up. The one challenge in that regard would be the roll up door. Your mounting options for a screen would be limited.

[@cdika]

My dealer said they got some ssv65 & 75 with the pilot controls in them, have you seen or demo'd them yet? wondering how they compare to a cat or bobcat

[@MessicksEquip]

We just got our first units. Look for another video in a few weeks.

[@cdika]

Messick Farm Equipment, wondering how the top mount radiator will work in snowy conditions or if machine is left outside during winter?

[@PHLLYHACKJR]

[@xephael3485]

7:50 can high-flow be added as option later?

[@MessicksEquip]

No

[@joshbos287]

Got one with pilot controls bought and getting delivered in June! Cant wait we will see how it works.

[@jameschang8122]

yep they are nice until you have to get it worked on then it will not be so nice i like the older machines were you can fix everything your self and not have to take it in to be worked on and it more money to take it in to get worked on then doing it your self

[@bear9923]

CHECKED OUT A NEW 2019 SSV 75. OMG...THE HYDRAULICS ARE WAY TO SENSITIVE. JUST MOVE THE STICK A 1/4" AND MACHINE SWINGS DRASTICALLY. HAVE HAD ELECTRIC OVER HYDRAULIC BOBCATS THAT JUST DIDN'T SEEM TO BE SO TOUCHY. FINESSING SOMETHING SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. CAN THE SENSITIVITY IN THESE SKID STEERS BE ADJUSTED?

[@MessicksEquip]

It can be adjusted. Most of us would describe electric over hydraulic as being dull. Once you spend some time on this you'll come to understand. You reaction is pretty common for someone used to bobcat.

[@bear9923]

@@MessicksEquip thanks for responding. my dealer didn't have any idea if it could be adjusted. i really like these machines. i'm in wisconsin...wish we had dealers like you here. i've followed you guys for a long time. you're a customer oriented dealer for sure. i've bought bobcats from this dealer many times and after the sales, they haven't much interest in their customers sad to say. thanks again

[@flienlow6281]

We are NOT BUYING KUBOTA. We are looking at $130,000 worth of Machines and No local Dealer will let us demo one. We are going with Bobcat.

[@bear9923]

@@flienlow6281 THAT REALLY SUCKS. BEEN A BOBCAT FAN/OWNER FOR DECADES. LAST ONE I BOUGHT WAS A 2014 S650. VERY MUCH AN UNDER-ACHIEVER. THEY CHANGED DESIGN (CAB FORWARD, ETC.) THINKING IT WOULD IMPROVE LOTS OF THINGS. IT DIDN'T. TRACTIVE EFFORT SUCKS. CARRY A LOAD IN BUCKET AND MOVE WHILE RAISING TO LOAD A TRUCK...YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON YOUR TOES. FRONT DOOR GLASS IS UNDER SUCH TENSION, IT SHATTERS IF JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TOUCHES IT. WHEN NEW OWNER TOOK OVER BOBCAT COMPANY (DOOSAN), I THINK THEY WENT DOWN HILL, BUT MAYBE IT WAS THAT PARTICULAR MACHINE. WISH YOU LUCK WITH YOUR NEW ONES.
