    Kubota SVL95 - 2 CTL

    Sounds Good. Most people I speak with have tried to warn me about the solid undercarriage arrangement on the Kubota SVL 95s2 as opposed to the suspended undercarriages on the Cat 299D and Bobcat T870 so I'm still trying to make my mind up about this aspect of the Kubota

    Kubota SVL95 - 2 CTL

    From what I can tell the SVL 90 and 95 are quite basic machines compared to Cat 299D and Bobcat T870. They don't have variable speed control, suspended under carriage of any description or engines gauges in the cab such as temperature and oil pressure to name a few.

    Kubota SVL95 - 2 CTL

    Hi Mikea9, I believe the Cat 299D has a suspended undercarriage system which is supposed to deliver a smoother ride and reduce wear and tear on the undercarriage and the T870 has the option for Roller Suspension undercarriage. I was wondering whether the SVL 95 has a suspended or rigid...
