These models have exceptional performance, comfort, and productivity, making them adaptable for construction and farmhand work. Let’s simplify managing your workload by looking into the SSV65 and SSV75 models available at River Valley Tractor!
The SSV65 has a 64-horsepower Kubota-built engine and an operating capacity of 1,950 pounds, making it a go-to for general construction, landscaping, and small farm applications. The bucket breakout force behind this model is 4,839 pounds, and a standard hydraulic flow and optional high-flow hydraulics add to its level of capability. The SSV65 has a smaller footprint, perfect for tighter job sites or areas with limited spacing.
For operators needing more lifting power and hydraulic strength, the SSV75 offers 74.3 horsepower and an operating capacity of 2,690 pounds. With a larger breakout force of 5,884 pounds and optional high-flow hydraulics, this model also handles attachments and heavier loads. It’s ideal for large construction jobs, hay operations, or material handling that require more muscle.
The SSV65 includes a spacious cab with excellent visibility, optional ISO pilot or hand-and-foot controls, and a dial throttle for precise engine management. Operators are sure to love the smoother ride with the optional Kubota Shockless Ride (KSR), suspension seating, and a user-friendly layout that prioritizes comfort through its ergonomic design!
The SSV75 provides more control and comfort for operators who do more intense or longer-duration work. It shares the same ergonomic design as the SSV65 but offers a larger cab, higher visibility, and optional multi-function levers for fingertip control to operate auxiliary hydraulics. Other upgrades, like the self-leveling function, enhanced A/C and heating system, and ready-to-install radio setup, have greater appeal in day-to-day usability.
The SSV65 has a vertical lift design that makes lifting and dumping accessible. Its hinge pin height is 121.5 inches, and its reach is 32.7 inches, allowing for efficient loading and dumping into trucks or containers. Its almost eight-inch ground clearance and compact size make it ideal for maneuvering through bustling sites or working on residential properties.
The SSV75 takes it up with a hinge pin height of 128.3 inches and a reach of 36.9 inches, giving it an advantage when working on larger commercial sites. With just over eight inches of ground clearance and heavy-duty tires, it’s ready to face rocky or muddy terrain with four-wheel drive while transporting a pallet of cinder blocks.
