    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.

    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. ✌

    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!!

    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.

  • @aaronthatcher8514
    @aaronthatcher8514 Рік тому +1

    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.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Рік тому

      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.

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! ✌

    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.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  3 місяці тому +2

      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.

    • @arnoldschmidt2753
      @arnoldschmidt2753 3 місяці тому

      @@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 .

      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."

      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. ✌

    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.

      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. ✌

    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?

    • @TheChristianHardscaper
      @TheChristianHardscaper  Рік тому +1

      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

    I'm sure you did the business math. I spend X a year on renting compared to monthly payments. Also, will this unit allow you to do bigger jobs faster? If yes then you are all set. Me, I'm a big fan of buying 2nd hand. So many people are bad business owners that bargains are sadly to be found. I'm sure you brought this to the Lord for his opinion first :> If not bad on you.

    • @TheChristianHardscaper

      I sure did, buying a machine like this not only saves me thousands compared to renting, but helps me get jobs done quicker. I prayed and waited patiently for a few years before I purchased this. I thought about buying used but in my situation, I don't have time to deal with any breakdowns. I needed a machine that will be free of issues for a few years, hopefully...LOL. It was an answered prayer in my eyes and am so thankful for it. ✌
