    Need a FAST ANSWER/ OPINION on a Dozer,

    Franklin is one of the largest New Holland dealerships in the country them and one other dealer are the only two in the country that can exclusively get parts for large New Holland construction equipment. Finding parts for these dozers is not an issue at all, my local dealer purchases parts from...

    Tom is the outside salesman at Franklin. Great guy, he drove all the way up to Medina this morning to sign paperwork.

    Need a FAST ANSWER/ OPINION on a Dozer,

    Congratulations on the purchase! I have the same dozer (it's a case) finding parts is not an issue. They are a good machine. Did you buy it from Tom? I just bought a New Holland 135 excavator from him last week.

    Brand new Kubota SVL-90 Has no power!!!

    After having the svl90 hydraulics correctly set by a Kubota rep and getting use to pilot I love the machine and it went from feeling weak at first to being the most powerful ctl I've ever ran. I've since bought a t770 and a 2nd svl90. I also have a John Deere on rent, the svl is,far superior...

    Here's my New Holland 75, I know they are not real popular but it has been a great grading dozer.

    Kubota svl 75 or 90 owners out there?

    The svl is already pre wired for a Jensen radio, if you buy the kit from Kubota it comes with a plug and play wiring harness that plugs into a plug under the cup holder.

    john deere or kubota?

    That's funny...I own a Cat 305.5 and a Kubota U55 and other than the foot pedals every thing about the Kubota is better.

    john deere or kubota?

    The u55 and kx057 are the same size machine. U55 has a slightly shorter stick but much better break out force with minimal tail swing.

    Kubota SVLs

    I agree the lifting capacity numbers are very conservative. Just wanting to see what my svl90 would lift I stacked two 3400# pallets on top of each other and it lifted them both with ease, machine did not tip at all but I only moved them about 10' on a slight hill. I'm not exactly sure what the...

    Bobcat E35 Long Arm (2014 model)

    I Bought a new Kubota U55 in 2012 and have around 1000 tough hours on the machine with zero issues and the tracks are still in great shape, Ive only done regular maintenance. I also have a Cat 305.5 and had a Bobcat 331 and E45. The Kubota has been a far better machine than the Cat and Bobcat...

    Brand new Kubota SVL-90 Has no power!!!

    Thanks for the reply. As for the track vs. wheeled machines go its been years since I've used a wheeled machine. My last CTL was a Bobcat T-250 with hand and foot controls, I'm 31 now and I think I started running hand and foot controls when I was about 8 years old at my parents farm, so after...

    Brand new Kubota SVL-90 Has no power!!!

    They backed off the anti stall and bumped up the hydraulics 14% ( the most they could go without permission from Kubota). I ran the machine today and it has a little more power but still not what I would expect from a brand new 90+hp machine. I think its a combination of things, the depth of...

    Brand new Kubota SVL-90 Has no power!!!

    A guy on ******** said the same thing, I hope that is the problem. I dropped it off at the dealer today so I should find out soon.

    Brand new Kubota SVL-90 Has no power!!!

    The SVL90 seemed fine when I did a demo but it was to cold out to actually put it to work on a jobsite. So after getting the machine out on some actual job sites to see how it performs I am very unhappy, the only thing it does well is lift a pallet at a standstill, every single other aspect the...

    2013 CAT 305.5E CR mini ex

    I have a Kubota U55 and a CAT CR305.5, they are both nice quality machines. The Kubota has a better cab, its faster and has more power. The only things I don't like is the Kubota thumb as others mentioned and I don't like the plastic flip out foot pedals. The Interior is a lot nicer on the...

    Best Mini Excavator Line

    I love my Kubota's, zero issues with them. Im sure all the newer minis are pretty good machines, the Bobcats look nice and I hear great things about the Tak's. When I was looking for a couple new machines everyone kept pointing me to the Kubotas and Taks. I ended up with two new Kubotas, if they...
