I liked this video, I live up in Wasilla, Alaska but I am born n raised in Tracy, MN n visited family a couple weeks ago and happened to drive thre Jaycox while I was there. I got back and bought a brand new Kubota ssv65 skidloader in Anchorage last week! Small world on this Ole you tube!
congratulations on the Kubota, thats a serious big boy toy that most of us can only dream about, please film as much as you can operating it, there is a lot to learn on how to operate them, your going to have so much fun.
As someone who unloads these, that “drop” off the trailer is nerve wracking every time, even though you know it’s coming and your totally fine. And you sprang for the A/C and heat, I’m jealous. You are gonna have a blast with that thing.
As someone who has spent thousands of hours in skid steers I would seriously recommend getting a tooth bucket if you are going to play in the dirt. I only use a smooth bucket for scraping mud off the roads or clearing snow. Also there are a ton of idiots out there who will raise the front of the tracks (or tires) two feet in the air when trying to scrape or dig in... raise the boom and curl down, you'll get the same ground pressure no matter if you are 2 inches or 2 feet off the ground. Anyway, those are my two pet peeves of rookie operators, theses machines are still a ton of fun to play with, have fun. You are accomplishing some really great things and I love that we are allowed to follow along.
@@jaxturner7288 I don’t mean a single joystick. I’m talking about how the newer stuff is simpler to run since you don’t have to use your hands and your feet
Or just be able to read English, the owners manual or the switches themselves…. All the controls and switches are labeled or have near by diagrams explaining their function.
I'm looking to purchase a skid steer and trying to decide on the manufacturer/model to purchase. This was a great video that helps provide a new buyer with good information. Thank you for sharing.
With most things, having the right tool opens up possibilities of what can be achieved and the time it takes to complete a task. Whether it’s a fine dovetail saw, hammer drill, or your new Kubota. It won’t be long before you realize all the things you can now do, and get done in a reasonable amount of time, that this tool offers you.
You guys could do some pretty epic composting now that you have that thing. Turning piles will be soooooo easy. Could be a source for more video material too. Create your own top soil! Not that you really need it lol. Maybe for gardens or something.
That will be such a useful tool at the new property. Give yourself some more time in the seat and it will end up being second nature before you know it. Enjoy!
I've been selling Kubota parts for almost 7 years, and the best advice I can give you is: 1. Changing the fuel filters and air filter regularly will save you from a lot of downtime. 2. OEM oil filters are key to a long life. 3. Beware of cheap aftermarket hydraulic fluid. 4. Putting diesel in the DEF tank is automatically $10k just in parts... or at least it was 5 years ago. And I don't believe it's covered under warranty or insurance anymore. Good luck! ;)
You sales guy certainly knows his stuff!! I graduated from high school in Bloomington and spent summers up in Brainetd at my uncles lake cabin, I’m a die hard New Englander now after many many years in the North East but my heart still flutters s but when I hear those old midwestern accents 😉
Boy, your going to have so much fun! Work suddenly turns into play time, I sure would love to have one of those. I'll have to start looking into those as I will be building a 48/104x16 car storage/man cave. I assume that won't fit into the storage unit? Maybe just cover with a large tarp? Take care.
It is hard not to laugh when I see you operating that fancy TSL. I remember when I started out. I couldn’t even get a full scoop. Practice makes perfect. And while I would run circles around you in my old bobcat I would be lost in that fancy Kubota. I have two sticks and three pedals and a headlight switch in my machine 😂 man times have changed.
Ryan, I've never been up close to a skid steer let alone sit in one. A NEW TOY TO PLAY WITH save your pennies for the vlower attachment if you need it I'm the winter maybe just a plow. A post hole auger oh my for fencing or whatever you need it for in the Ryan's Ryegrass Sod Farm build
I use my grapple (Kioti dk 40 hst) more that any other front attatchment. Forks, rotary mower will be nice additions. And as others said, a Harley rake. My broke ass has a gill pulverizer and I have a rollover Boxblade and a real heavy Gill (hinged rear blade) Boxblade with scarifies that hinge up. Nice score.
You just need to get the thing dirty now! I’ve always found the daily greasing to be excessive unless your running for a solid 8hrs a day. Not many people do so I prefer to just go off of the hour meter.
Was that on something with half worn out tracks doing hard work in rocky soil while on uneven terrain and after many hours of hard use? Yeah this is new and this guy is about as gentle with equipment as you can be. The biggest rock he has on his almost hill less property you could probably carry and all he deals with is top soil. Very different people in different locations with different machines doing different types of work……. You can’t count on having the same failures and problems just because the machines started out being the same color.
While a small tractor is probably more useful as a whole, they can be extremely difficult to maneuver consistently with grading and digging, etc. Skid steers primary uses are for doing this and it’s controls are very seamless to operate and very less “clunky.” Skid steers still have a pretty decent variety of attachments to use if wanted. Not that I know this is why he bought it, just assuming
Engine (gross HP) 68.3 HP ROC (35% / 50%) 2100 lbs./3000lbs. Breakout Bucket 4614 lbs force Lift arm 4614 lbs. Traction force 8408 lbs. Reach 34.9 in. Hinge pin height 118.5 in
What was that sound? I think it was your back and joints saying, "thank you!" No more shoveling truckloads of sand by hand, eh? Congrats on a great machine!
Personally I would have found an older machine without the emissions controls, but I understand why you'd want a new machine. I hope the emissions equipment doesn't give you any problems. Enjoy!
Ryan's Christmas list-attachments needed brush mower, snow blower, tiller, post hole digger, .......

yeah they have serious powerful lifting plus kubotas only one you can reach over a big dump trucks or dump trailers wich no outher skidsteers cant
Your comments at the end is really what this is all about. Have fun learning w the new equipment
This is going to end up being the most well taken care of, don’t want to say babied, bobcat to ever be sold. 👍🏼
It’s a Kubota not a Bobcat!
As someone who unloads these, that “drop” off the trailer is nerve wracking every time, even though you know it’s coming and your totally fine. And you sprang for the A/C and heat, I’m jealous. You are gonna have a blast with that thing.
As someone who unloads these, you should probably start calling it; the tipping point, not the “drop off”. 👌
@@jaxturner7288 I’ve just always called it the drop because it reminds me of the drop at at the top of a roller coaster.
Update? Any issues?

I actually have teeth for this one that I just have to put on there. That's on the to do list. Thanks for sharing!
@@RyanKnorr Perfect, it really makes a world of difference.
Didn't know how to operate a tractor or skid couple years ago and now I drive them like an absolute madman. You got this man
Will come in handy for shoveling the long driveway in the winter.
That’s a great buy. You’re going to enjoy that machine, so many attachments for it also. Awesome 👏
The strides you've made on this are HUGE. Truly appreciate you sharing this. Stay safe.
Very relaxing, it’s like watching the grass grow…. Easy listening.
My calendar just opened up. Now I can come help!
Great investment! Skid steers are workhorses. And the newer 2 joystick models like this are a lot of fun too
Where did you see a skid steer with a single joystick for controls?
@@jaxturner7288 I don’t mean a single joystick. I’m talking about how the newer stuff is simpler to run since you don’t have to use your hands and your feet
You'll need to watch this video several times to remember what all the buttons do! Great new toy!
Exactly why I filmed it all haha
Or just be able to read English, the owners manual or the switches themselves….
All the controls and switches are labeled or have near by diagrams explaining their function.
@@jaxturner7288 so funny, i forgot to laugh
Good choice going for the heat and cooling
That’s awesome congratulations!!! If I got one of those things the wife wouldn’t see me for a week.
haha
I can see it know, you teaching CW how to use it and him messing it up. Really looking forward to the adventure at the new placee.
He will NOT be allowed anywhere near this thing. You just can't trust the guy :)

My dad bought this model last year, we love it. We think you will too.
Why am I so excited about Ryan's new toy? This is so cool!
Congrats on the new toy! Fun times ahead!
I liked the audio mic'd up for the delivery. Nice touch.
I own a few skid steers, one being a kubota and it’s definitely one of my favourites. Enjoy!
You guys could do some pretty epic composting now that you have that thing. Turning piles will be soooooo easy. Could be a source for more video material too. Create your own top soil! Not that you really need it lol. Maybe for gardens or something.
I wouldn’t leave the property! What a cool machine!
Time for some implements!
Love a good solid MN accent :) congrats on the new purchase!!
Tint the windows Ryan!! You will not regret it!!
Beautiful machine. Getting that hydraulic quick release the best you could of got. Keep those tracks greased. Congratulations and enjoy!
Awesome machine. Congrats. You will use that alot can't wait to see videos
Slick looking ride!

No DEF here so that's good. Thanks for the tips
@@RyanKnorr That is good news! We don't have many 65-2s come through our dealership. I assumed they were like the others.
Holy cow! Very nice you guys! Gonna be fun.
Sweet machine!! I love kubota, if you own land skid steer is a great addition!!
Congratulations to y'all.
This is awesome so happy for you.
Kaloríziko! And this is some nice soil!

Awesome purchase

Just uploaded a video today on the kubota/shipping container question
Nice Score Ryan!!!!
I’m looking to buying one of these as well for business. Congrats bro

I bet you can move a lot of sand for sand leveling the lawn with that.
gotta love a new toy
You just need to get the thing dirty now!
I’ve always found the daily greasing to be excessive unless your running for a solid 8hrs a day. Not many people do so I prefer to just go off of the hour meter.
Daily greasing is pretty excessive, agreed. Just do like every 10 hours and see how it goes for awhile. If they're still packed, try 20 hours.
That’s awesome!
Awesome Toy! I think you will become a pro at putting those tracks back on, I have seen on some other YT channels they come off easily.
Was that on something with half worn out tracks doing hard work in rocky soil while on uneven terrain and after many hours of hard use?
Yeah this is new and this guy is about as gentle with equipment as you can be.

@@jaxturner7288 I am sure Ryan will take care of his machine and keep it as close to new condition as he can, he takes care of his stuff for sure.
Hi Ryan and congrats on your new Kubota. Can you go into the details of your financing and payment if you have one?
I have the exact machine, they are workhorses.
Awesome 👍👍
Awesome 👍
Wow I hope you love it for over $60 Gs

Why skid steer over small tractor or mini backhoe with bucket? I know very little about them all but was curious…
While a small tractor is probably more useful as a whole, they can be extremely difficult to maneuver consistently with grading and digging, etc. Skid steers primary uses are for doing this and it’s controls are very seamless to operate and very less “clunky.” Skid steers still have a pretty decent variety of attachments to use if wanted. Not that I know this is why he bought it, just assuming
Just with how rugged most of the ground is at this time and the kind of work we have ahead it seemed to fit me better for now.
@@RyanKnorr thanks for the feedback. I’m excited to see how the property progresses!
Someone in Utah still has to rent one.... 😂😂😂😂
What a great toy, errr I mean tool. 😉

Very cool! I still think you are having way too much fun and not working hard enough. Must be easy being a RUclipsr!!! haha keep on keeping on bro.
I was in a band named "Bucket Float" in 1997
Lol
Better than my old band’s name.
But that function actually allows the boom arm cylinders to float, not the bucket function. 👍
What’s your plan with all the extra dirt you move? Just leave it piled up on the edge of your property? Awesome machine congrats!
How long till Connor throws a track????
He is NOT allowed to use it :)
SKOL!
Sooooo.....was Kelsey taking good notes? I’m still stuck on the auxiliary controls 😂
That's why I filmed it. I'm not above watching my own videos to learn haha
Where’s the 4in1 Bucket?
Personally I would have found an older machine without the emissions controls, but I understand why you'd want a new machine. I hope the emissions equipment doesn't give you any problems. Enjoy!
The prices are insane for older used right now so it just didn't make as much sense at that point
Gas or diesel?
Diesel. Anything with a EGR or DEF system gives it away.
As if there is a choice.
trading for the 90 in a year!
Haha
Door is great until it gets jammed and your stuck in the machine lol
The back window pops out if necessary

This video makes me realize I picked the wrong career...
Suck.... Nothing against KUBOTA but I was hoping to see you get a Ventrack. It's going to be fun regardless. 👍
Tracks tear ground up more than wheels. Don't use it on turf.
Sorry to be a stickler. your title is wrong. its SVL65-2... you put SLV.
Fixed
