SSV65 vs SSV75: Which is Best for Your Work?

Summary: The Kubota SSV65 and SSV75 share the same cab, controls and quick-change features, so the choice comes down to size and muscle. The SSV65 is lighter and easier to haul for landscaping and property work. The SSV75 lifts more, reaches a little higher and pushes harder for construction and heavy material handling.

Choosing a Kubota Skid Steer in San Jose and the Bay Area

Mission Valley Kubota works with landscapers, nurseries, farms and contractors across San Jose and Silicon Valley. Both SSV models handle a wide range of attachments, so start with the size of your loads and the kind of sites you work on.

A few specs help sort them out. ROC (rated operating capacity) is the weight a skid steer can safely carry, rated at 50% of the load that would tip it forward. Hinge pin height shows how high the bucket can reach for dumping into trucks or bins.

Breakout force, measured in lbf (pounds of force), is how hard the bucket can pry into packed dirt or a pile. GPM (gallons per minute) is the hydraulic flow sent to attachments like augers, trenchers and breakers.

SSV65: Landscaping, Nurseries & Light-Duty Work

Best for: Landscapers, nurseries, farms and property owners who need a loader that's easy to haul and fits on smaller sites.

The SSV65 runs on a 64 horsepower turbocharged Kubota diesel with a 1,950 lb ROC. That covers pallets of block, sod and nursery stock, plus bales and feed around a farm.

Hinge pin height is 121.5 inches, and the bucket puts out 4,839 lbf of breakout force. Auxiliary flow is 18.0 GPM standard and 28.0 GPM with high flow.

Its smaller frame rides on 10x16.5 tires, which keeps it easier to store and trailer between jobs.

SSV75: Construction & Heavy Material Handling

Best for: Contractors in construction, demolition and site development who move heavy materials and load tall trucks.

The SSV75 has a 71.6 horsepower engine and a 2,690 lb ROC, about 740 lb more than the SSV65. That extra capacity shows up when you're moving full pallets of pavers or pipe.

At full lift, the hinge pin sits at 123.8 inches, which helps when you're loading high-sided dump trucks. Breakout force jumps to 5,884 lbf.

With high flow, it sends 30.4 GPM to attachments (20.9 GPM without it), so trenchers and breakers have more to work with. It's also heavier and runs bigger 12x16.5 tires, so plan on a larger trailer.
