No sir they weren’t old machines, the new ones burn just like the old ones. Did your warranty cover yours burning up? If so I need to make some phone calls and get my money back I lost, I could go on a nice hunt for 20k. A moose hunt sounds nice lol

Seriously though I don’t want to derail the OP’s thread to far off course but you love them and I hate them, I hope you have better luck than we did.

Did you not have insurance on them?

We have a kubota svl95-2 with a mulched on consignment in temple. 600 some hrs great shape. There asking around 130;000

I agree with you but these newer asv are getting better and worse it seems. It seems like if they arent leaking hyd oil somewhere you better start looking for a place to put it because shes out. And there UC are much more labor intensive and costly to work on.

In 6-7 months of almost daily use, we haven’t had any problems with hydraulic lines (yet.) We make our own hydraulic lines and do a majority of our own service. If the worst thing they do is blow lines, that’s okay. Pretty cheap fix as long as it’s caught early enough. With the technology in them these days it doesn’t go unnoticed, typically.

As a contractor, you gotta pay to play when it comes down to it though. The little RT-30 is worth its weight in gold, just about.

Stay away from one that’s been mulching.



I don’t know anyone with a kabota that’s been happy. I don’t know anything about the Deere. I’ve got a 259D CAT and it’s been flawless for years, but I know some bigger models have their problems. Mostly DEF and sensors (mine don’t have def)

I’m happy with our kubotas.



Just got a brand new 97, and still have the old (100 hours) 95.



OP,



I’m thinking about selling the 95 - it’s over at the ranch in llano if you want to come see it.

I tend to like the orange ones

I run kubota excavators and skid steers. Have gotten several into the 2000-2500hr range without anything other than routine maintenance.

Got a John Deere 333 and it is tough and very reliable

I’m running a Kubota 97-2 and like it so far. I had the Kubota 75-2 before. I recommend Kubota

Warranty didn't but the insurance did.

My neighbor had a new deer that burnt to the ground, he almost didn’t get out when it torched off.
I have a kubota 75 with a full cab, I really like how the door opens compared to the others.
Can’t get trapped inside.

I have a Kubota SVL 75-2 HF and have been happy with it.

That is the only thing I like with the Kubota over the cats although the doors rattle to high hell and drive me nuts.

Unless you are running a mulching head anything over 75 hp really is overkill.
Also anything over 75hp will have def. Just another headache.
