Come on SKIDSTEER FORUM, it's 2018 already!! So, we have a little over 500 hours on this SSV75. The only thing that impresses me is the cab. The breakout force leaves much to be desired. The idiots that engineered the hydraulic "Saturn-block" need to be stoned. It is made of aluminum, I'm guessing a soft one at that. It is mounted in such a place that it truly has next to nothing protecting it...extremely vulnerable, especially to any impacts from the front or top. How much can the thing cost?....$1000. We have broke ours twice!!!! I have started on a new guard for this thing. Clearly these engineers made this to move dirt and nothing else. The hydraulically powered cooling fan has a slight leak at one of the hoses...we hope to have that fixed under warranty soon. Again, ours is hand and foot controls...the right-heel down movement is very stiff. Maintenance; I can buy most of the filters locally, from parts stores. The larger hydraulic return filter has to be purchased through Kubota at $70. The inside and outside cabin filters (for the A/C) cost a total of $200!!!!!! They are small and nothing fancy to demand that kind of price tag. I have been unable to find them aftermarket as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
