Hey guys. I looked at a couple of new skid steers today. New Holland and Kubota. For the record, I am a big huge horse. 6'2" and just over 300 lbs. The NH was really nice. It was the best fitting skid steer Ive even been in. I prefer it has a seat-belt and no lap bar. That, until I sat in the Kubota SSV65. Wow. I was surprised that the lap bar fit over my gut. In all honesty, I don't have a huge gut for my size but the fat is kinda well distributed. Either way, the kubota won in every category. More shoulder, elbow and leg space. The flip up door is awesome too. I have to duck a bit to get it down but well worth it vs taking a door completely off and storing it somewhere. I love the design of this machine. from the rear mounted gas tank (ballast) to the 3/16" thick steel rear door to the motor direct driving the pumps. (no efficiency loss). Thats all I really have to ad to this thread. I am new to the forum so before you ask, no I do not work for Kubota. lol. Just a guy that has recently started shopping for a skid steer and mini excavator. Cheers.
