Skid steer loaders' compactness and high manoeuvrability make them an ideal fit around yards or buildings, particularly those with limited access or height restrictions, like chicken rearing units.
Kubota's new SSV Series offers two models of 64 and 74hp, now on sale.
Importer CB Norwood Distributors lists innovative features said to set the SSV Series apart, notably a unique, slide-up, front-entry door that rises upwards instead of out, allowing access even when the machine is in a tight spot.
A dust-resistant pressurised cabin with climate control offers a comfortable workplace, a sidelight for better visibility and safer operation at night, and an optional multi-function lever allows fingertip control of machine and implement functions. The SSV65 and SSV75 have hand-and-foot controls, and pilot control models are expected to join the line-up next year.
Power is provided by a Tier 4 four-cylinder Kubota diesel engine, the choice of two travel speeds and optional high-flow hydraulics.
Kubota's vertical lift geometry combines to allow the SSV65 to offer a capacity of 885kg and breakout force of 2195 kgf; the SSV75 offers 1220kg and a breakout of 2669kgf.
