I haven't been around a 95, but we've had the SVL90-1 and SVL90-2. The -2 I wasn't happy with the DPF, if an operator didn't work it properly it would go into flip out mode, and it happened quite frequently. Of course we're talking rental people, a person that actually owns one and works it properly might not have such issues. And I'm a fan of Kubota overall, but what I've experienced with their skiddys is they're a bitch to work on, you can't get to hardly anything. On the SVL90, both -1 and -2, you have to slide the radiator out, yeah it's made to do that, just to access the oil and fuel filters. And if you had to replace something like, umm, the starter, you'd have to pull the radiator and oil cooler to get to it. I'm just not a fan of designs that make common maintenance a PITA, that's the one area where Bobcat beats all of them. Can't say about Tak, not a big presence in my area so I don't get to work on them much. But the one thing I can say about the Kubota SVL90 is everyone who has rented them from us say they're a beast when it comes to doing the work, which again is a testament to how good Kubota machines are, it's just in my opinion they suck at cramming all that power into the frame in a mechanic friendly manner.
