Congrats. I’m so happy to see you guys progress. Best you tube channel I’ve ever seen. Just good old guys working hard and investing in themselves. I know exactly how you feel. I eat pb&j with no credit cards for 8 years to get my first kubota tractor. I lost a few friends cause I stopped hanging out to save but my business is growing. Keep up the good work fellas.
Thank you! We enjoy ourselves and try to build quality projects for our customers. I hear you about losing friendships for sure... Some people just don't understand the value of growth in life.
What an awesome machine. I'm wrapping up a great Father's Day! This is icing on the proverbial cake, my friend! Praying for your continued success job after job! 🎉🍾🥂
Don't know anything about these types of machines, but it looks pretty cool, and you look so excited with it... can't wait to see you using it in the future videos... I am happy for you, you've earned this!!!!!
So very happy for you!!! I know that feeling, when at 62, I finally got my Kioti tractor with a back hoe, forks and grapple. It’s like every Christmas as a kid rolled into one moment in adulthood!! That is a huge game changer for you and the business!👍🏻👍🏻 I’m in LOVE with the automatic quick disconnect!!!! Oh MAN!!! Now, you need pallet forks!! Oh yes you do!! Can’t wait to see her on a job site!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉🎊
It definitely is like all the christmas's rolled into 1! Such a good feeling! And that tractor has probably been awesome for you with all those attachments. I love the quick disconnect too, and I already got some forks, cant wait! Thanks again for the support ✌
Congratulations! Love “The Adventures of Kyle and Benny” show! My favorite channel. That Kubota window / door slide lock is a good idea. We have John Deere and cats and the cats roll up window / door always drop down on their own once the strikers wear out. Total design flaw. They weld the striker on and it’s non replaceable. Good choice on the Kubota! Very happy for you. Keep the videos coming!
That's awesome, thank you! Those 2 lock pins are very helpful... I know what you mean about the CAT doors, I used Cat skid steers for a couple years and dealt with that problem a lot.... Still very smooth machines though, I like CAT more than Bobcat. Thanks again for the support, plenty of videos to come! ✌
Awesome brother! It's a great feeling buying a new piece of equipment like that. Kubota makes good equipment at very reasonable prices. I use a small L2501 tractor with my landscaping business . Looking forward to the next videos.
It certainly feels pretty good man, I feel very blessed! I have used their tractors a couple times, they are just as smooth as the skid steers. I'm sure it has been very helpful for you, they make awesome equipment for the price. ✌
It looks awesome and the best part was seeing the excited look on your face. Reminded me of my first decent car I bought after I graduated and landed my first job. Love the videos...I watch you and Benny more than I watch Netflix. Congrats man!
Congratulations. I am sure it'll be a great asset to your business. Here in Australia Kubota is one of the very well known and respected brands and it would certainly be my go to brand.
a quick question have you done a 500 hour service yet ? I was just wondering if I should buy all the filters and stuff from Kubota or get it all from another vendor.. Just thinking out loud. @@TheChristianHardscaper
I love Kubota tbh, congrats what do u think of Kubota scl1000? Stand on machine, beast at digging and can easily dump into a dump trailor, jw. I know why u got this, looks sharp bro congrats, as soon as my youtube starts popping I'm getting 1 too, saving up all my youtube money untilll I got it, I see u r very happy
Yea bro, they are an awesome manufacturer. And I bet the Kubota scl100 is mint compared to the competitors models that are comparable. I still love the mini skids, don't get me wrong.... I just needed something that can pick up an entire pallet of pavers, that is very important for me. ✌
Congrats! It felt like Xmas, the day I got my Kubota L2501. You're productivity and profit margin should increase... Good luck... Don't run into anything!
I totally agree with that, felt like Christmas for sure! I can already feel the difference in productivity, plus it is way less stressful than trying to get a job done within the time you allotted for a rental... And honestly, the monthly payment is less than a 1 week rental cost for a machine of the same caliber. I am very happy with my purchase! Thanks for the feedback! ✌
That thing is bad ass congratulation another great thing about those machines is they roll up excavator style door I love that in the Takeuchi’s as well
Congratulations on your purchase. As a fellow MassHole I couldn't help but smile on how much you sound like Ben Affleck from Goodwill Hunting, that's awesome man!!
Congrats. 🎉 Hope it serves you for a longtime. Hope it brings the $$$$ in for your new truck and the extra bits that go with it. Enjoy the new opportunity of a prosperous adventure. I’d like to say good luck, but I don’t believe in luck. It’s only contained by believing in yourself. And that I believe you possess. God bless.
Thank you, I hope so too! I totally agree with you on the luck thing, Good things come when you focus on working towards those things. God Bless you too ✌
That's hilarious man 🤣 Believe it or not I have been building concrete paver tee pads off and on for the past year now at a local disc golf course. Been a blast! Here is a link to some of the videos I made of us building the tee pads 👉ruclips.net/p/PLo6xdtKoDxWYm6l7o_eG5eIG75tCpPUjj
Thank you, I talked about a handful of things that made me choose this Kubota but not all the reasons. I will talk about it more in future videos as I work with it and get a better opinion on it. ✌
Congratulations. I think the radiator swings out ? I have a class B, i can drive a truck 26001 and over and trailer 10,000 and under. So they go by gvwr regardless of weight your carrying?
Thank you! And that totally makes sense about the radiator, I'll have to check that out. And yes, the basic regulation for CDL around here is over 26,000 lbs individually or combined. So whether you are empty or loaded, the GVWR is what they go by. My truck and trailer together is 24,000 lbs. Truck - 10,000 lbs Trailer - 14,000. So I am good with that set up. Any bigger skid steer would put me just overweight
Where are you from? I saw the ahearn sticker and that’s where I buy all my equipment. Then I saw your mass inspection sticker lol. I’m roughly 20 minutes from ahearn
I bought a svl75-2 almost 3 years ago for landscape/hardscape. Wanted a Bobcat at the time bc I have a s590 and always preferred the brand, but dealer wasn't working with me. Ended up with the svl and it took me about a year to realize that I prefer almost everything about it over a Bobcat. One of my employees is 6'5" and hates using the bobcat after getting used to legroom in the svl. Also, I wouldn't consider Kubota an offbrand. They are newer to the skidsteer market, but have been making toptier mini exs, compact loaders, and tractors for decades. My dealer, Marshall Machinery is excellent and I would recommend the Kubota brand to anyone. I'd be interested to know how much you can pick up with the svl65? My 75 can move 5000lb on a pallet carefully and can easily pick up 4000 without a worry.
The 75-2 is such a nice machine man, I tell people all the time that the bobcat skid steers are super tight inside and have very little visibility.... I priced out a T64 from bobcat because the s590 and s595 is getting harder to find I guess... but when they quoted me $89,000, I quickly shifted away from them and started looking elsewhere. I have never used a kubota machine and not loved it, so finding out this machine was $69,000, no brainer. Looking forward to years of use! I have already picked up paver pallets that weight 3,200 lbs and it was like nothing for it to lift. I assume it could pick up 4,000 lbs but probably can't lift it higher than 50% or it would most likely tip. But for me, a pallet of pavers is the heaviest thing i need to worry about and it has no problem with that. I used a 75-2 for 3 years and loved it, but this 65-2 floats compared to the 75. I like that a lot, easy to turn and it feels so smooth on the asphalt.
Hey man, thanks for asking! I still absolutely love this machine. The machine weighing about 1,000 lbs less then the 75-2 is super helpful for less damage on job sites and it moves / turns smoother also because of the lower operating weight. That 1,000lbs was the main reason I bought it so I can remain under CDL A requirements for transporting it. And I have not come across a pallet of pavers that it can not lift yet, which is all I need it to do. No mechanical issues yet and no complaints at all. I would recommend highly. ✌
Here in Massachusetts, yes. Anyone who operates a machine that can lift over 500lbs, needs a (Hoisting License) Hopefully he will have his in the next year or 2
Nice!! I was close with my guess, the smaller model makes sense, don't know anything about CDLs. Ahearn is a great place too, I didn't have a trailer and they came out to service the tractor I had. Question though, are you pumped?
You certainly were, closest out of anyone I think. Ahearn was good to me, just took awhile to get it in because it is a not so common model. And yes, I'm Pumped! 🤣✌
Did you ever consider a wheeled version? Up here in western Canada, a wheeled machine is 20 grand cheaper than a $120,000.00 track machine and wheeled machine are easier to replace a flat tire than a track . But I guess you went with the tracks for your application.
I never considered the wheeled version, I need the tracks to go over all types of terrain. If the ground is even a little soft the wheels can dig right in and get stuck where a track machine would have no problem. Plus the track machines are more balanced which allows you to pick up more weight than the comparable model with wheels.
@@TheChristianHardscaper .Granted & understood your reasoning. But are you aware of the other options like OTT tracks ? They are awesome in muddy conditions and you can change/install them in 2 hours. All that's needed is to drive on the tracks ,lower the tire air pressure, then use supplied ratchet straps and join the ends together then insert the stainless steel bolts . And re inflate the tires . Now they by no means are the best system out there but I used them for 370 hours without any problems until I accidentally drove over ahidden root .that was a costly repair. Yes tracked machines have their advantages, but to me ,they are not versatile enough for western Alberta were it snows for 4 to 6 months of the year and to do snow removal, you need a certain type of tracks. But keep on posting videos of your adventures and I will watch every one of them. I learn from people's experiences. And I like watching people solve the problems as they work .
It certainly is not brother... But they say it takes money to make money right? lol. Honestly though, I was spending crazy money on rentals, buying my own machine is actually going to save me money...
Wait till you have the dpf and Regen problem ours has only 600 hours in it been in the shop 3 times to force regens.. when it runs it's a good machine just real sensitive on debris in fuel and the dpf system sucks lol
@@TheChristianHardscaper I made pattern out of 1/4" plywood then had my local steel shop cnc it out of 3/4 plat steel I wouldn't go any liter then that 1" or 1 1/4" would work better
Great video and great machine man, I’m looking to get one soon. Great explanation on the weight. Could you give me advice on ideas to put it to work? I can’t operate it yet so I’ve been considering renting it out or putting it to work in a company if possible. Thanks
Thank you very much, I love this machine! It is super helpful in my business because it moves all the materials around on my job sites. It can pick up any pallet of pavers / block I need it too and moves a good amount of dirt and stone quickly. It took me awhile to get to a point where I can justify the purchase but where I am now, it is a necessity so that is why I bought it. Around here in my area, tons of places rent these machines so it would not be easy find people to rent it it thats what you are hoping to do with it. I usually wait to purchase tools / equipment until it is a necessity, so my advice would be to wait until you really need a machine like this, until then rent the machines you need for jobs that come along. ✌
Oh sweet, that's awesome! My dealer did not have any in stock and that model is less common so it took awhile for it to be made and shipped from the factory.
I hope your Kubota lasts a long while. My SVL90 almost made it to 600 hours before the first and last $15000 repair. That is when I realized Kubuto wouldn't stand behind their products.
Congrats. If I was young again, I'd follow a similar path. Very hard work, but rewarding and you can be your own man and creative as you can be. Sadly, working and earning a living with your own hands is often frowned upon by the intelligencia.
I love this work, so rewarding and nothing better than being outside every day. Most intellectuals can't handle a hard days work and they use their intelligence to lift themselves up. Ecclesiastes 5: 10-12 "Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth-except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep."
Btw. I believe the Ditch Witch sk3000 full sized "mini" skid will pick up a full pallet of pavers. Don't know the price on them or how the controls compare but I do like the hop on hop off of the minis. No climbing in and out and perfect visibility but it all depends on what you do and personal preference of course.
LOL Thanks! And yes, you are correct. Some of the big mini skids can pick up a full pallet. They are coming a long way over the past 10 years. And they are sweet to just hop on and off of with full visibility. They are comparable to the price of a compact skid steer like this one. ✌
Congrats. I’m so happy to see you guys progress. Best you tube channel I’ve ever seen. Just good old guys working hard and investing in themselves. I know exactly how you feel.

If the ground is even a little soft the wheels can dig right in and get stuck where a track machine would have no problem. Plus the track machines are more balanced which allows you to pick up more weight than the comparable model with wheels.
@@TheChristianHardscaper .Granted & understood your reasoning. But are you aware of the other options like OTT tracks ?
They are awesome in muddy conditions and you can change/install them in 2 hours.
All that's needed is to drive on the tracks ,lower the tire air pressure, then use supplied ratchet straps and join the ends together then insert the stainless steel bolts . And re inflate the tires . Now they by no means are the best system out there but I used them for 370 hours without any problems until I accidentally drove over ahidden root .that was a costly repair.
Yes tracked machines have their advantages, but to me ,they are not versatile enough for western Alberta were it snows for 4 to 6 months of the year and to do snow removal, you need a certain type of tracks.
But keep on posting videos of your adventures and I will watch every one of them.
I learn from people's experiences. And I like watching people solve the problems as they work .
2023, wow bro. That is not cheap
It certainly is not brother... But they say it takes money to make money right? lol. Honestly though, I was spending crazy money on rentals, buying my own machine is actually going to save me money...
Wait till you have the dpf and Regen problem ours has only 600 hours in it been in the shop 3 times to force regens.. when it runs it's a good machine just real sensitive on debris in fuel and the dpf system sucks lol
Manual goes behind the seat
Nice skiddy
Thank you, I will have to look into the bumper you are talking about ✌

I made pattern out of 1/4" plywood then had my local steel shop cnc it out of 3/4 plat steel I wouldn't go any liter then that 1" or 1 1/4" would work better
@@johnhurt1583 That is very smart. They main reason is to protect the back door, is that why you did it?
Great video and great machine man, I’m looking to get one soon. Great explanation on the weight. Could you give me advice on ideas to put it to work? I can’t operate it yet so I’ve been considering renting it out or putting it to work in a company if possible. Thanks
Thank you very much, I love this machine! It is super helpful in my business because it moves all the materials around on my job sites. It can pick up any pallet of pavers / block I need it too and moves a good amount of dirt and stone quickly. It took me awhile to get to a point where I can justify the purchase but where I am now, it is a necessity so that is why I bought it. Around here in my area, tons of places rent these machines so it would not be easy find people to rent it it thats what you are hoping to do with it. I usually wait to purchase tools / equipment until it is a necessity, so my advice would be to wait until you really need a machine like this, until then rent the machines you need for jobs that come along. ✌
Nice machine! Just my 2 cents tow it with the door up in case a rock flies up. Those doors are expensive to replace. Congrats bro
Thank you, that is an excellent point. I didn't even think of that, I would hate to have to replace that door because of something like that. ✌
Congratulations bro. I just got the new SVL75. Why the long wait though?
Oh sweet, that's awesome! My dealer did not have any in stock and that model is less common so it took awhile for it to be made and shipped from the factory.
Order or make a rear bumper ASAP it will save you a lot of headache
No bumper. Jealous boy. Has heavy steel back door
I hope your Kubota lasts a long while. My SVL90 almost made it to 600 hours before the first and last $15000 repair. That is when I realized Kubuto wouldn't stand behind their products.
Damn, I'm sorry to hear that happened man. Fingers crossed I do not run into something like that... 🤞
I want to become a skid steer operator!!!
When Benny said the seat is ribbed 😂😅
🤣👌
Nice
I´m a grown man and I´m still jealous when I see these "toys" :D
🤣 I totally know what you mean! ✌
@@TheChristianHardscaper Happy for you my friend that you could afford such a beauty .. Hope she works for you for a long time :D
Congrats. If I was young again, I'd follow a similar path. Very hard work, but rewarding and you can be your own man and creative as you can be. Sadly, working and earning a living with your own hands is often frowned upon by the intelligencia.
I love this work, so rewarding and nothing better than being outside every day. Most intellectuals can't handle a hard days work and they use their intelligence to lift themselves up.
Ecclesiastes 5: 10-12
"Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what good is wealth-except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers! People who work hard sleep well, whether they eat little or much. But the rich seldom get a good night’s sleep."
Kubotas are the best. best warranty where i'm at, as well
Couldn't agree more! ✌
Things sweet
Freakin mint! I love it 👌
Prize?
Working for free for awhile but it’ll be worth it
It sure will be, cheaper than renting though....LOL
👍
Also, put a tracking device on it. Thievery is unfortunately out of control nowadays.
I hear you, crazy world...
That radiator in the way sucks to maintain servicing the machine, what a nightmare
Ginger Hillbilly approves this purchase. Lol.
Btw. I believe the Ditch Witch sk3000 full sized "mini" skid will pick up a full pallet of pavers. Don't know the price on them or how the controls compare but I do like the hop on hop off of the minis. No climbing in and out and perfect visibility but it all depends on what you do and personal preference of course.
LOL Thanks! And yes, you are correct. Some of the big mini skids can pick up a full pallet. They are coming a long way over the past 10 years. And they are sweet to just hop on and off of with full visibility. They are comparable to the price of a compact skid steer like this one. ✌
I'm not in the industry at all and guessed $35K. Prices these days.
Yea, these machines are not cheap.... Some models get up to $120,000..... 👎
