Whether you’re digging trenches, grading or clearing brush, we’ve got the perfect accessory to make your SVL75 work even harder (so it doesn’t have to).
The Kubota SVL75-2: Everyone’s favorite mini tractor
In 2018, the Kubota SVL75-2 skid steer loader was introduced. It was an updated version of the original SVL75 model, with improvements such as a larger cab with improved visibility, greater hydraulic flow and a more powerful engine.
The SVL75-2 has remained a popular choice for construction and agricultural workers. Let’s see why:
Engine power
The Kubota SVL75-2 is powered by a 74.3 horsepower 4-cylinder turbocharged engine.
Taking a closer look at the engine specs, you will find that the engine bore is 94mm and the stroke is 120mm. The long stroke compared to the bore gives the Kubota SVL75-2 more torque compared to similar engine designs with wider pistons and shorter strokes.
The SVL75-2 uses a “common rail system”, which electronically meters and measures the amount of fuel delivered to each cylinder, providing excellent fuel efficiency and less engine noise.
Hydraulic power
Not only do you need engine power to get the most out of your skid steer, but you also need hydraulic power to operate many attachments.
The Kubota SVL-75-2 features a standard flow hydraulic system and an optional high flow hydraulic system. The standard hydraulic flow has a flow rate of 17.4 GPM, while the optional high flow increases the flow to 29.3 GPM. On either model, the hydraulic pressure is set to run around 3185 PSI.
Determining how much hydraulic power you will get with standard or high flow hydraulics can be done by multiplying the PSI by the GPM and dividing by 1714.
Doing the math, we can see that a standard flow Kubota SVL-75-2 will have 32 hydraulic horsepower, while the high flow model will have 54 hydraulic horsepower, almost a 60% increase!

Kubota SVL75 brush cutter
Whether you have standard or high-flow hydraulics on your SVL75, the Blue Diamond Heavy Duty Brushcutter is perfect for the Kubota SVL75.
Brush cutter Standard Flow SVL75
For customers with a standard flow SVL75 looking for an aggressive brush cutter, we recommend the Blue Diamond Low Flow Brush Cutter.
Blue Diamond’s low-flow brush cutter is designed to operate with hydraulic flow between 16 and 26 gallons per minute and features an open front cutting deck and 500-pound serrated blade carriers with four blades.
Based on hydraulic flow and pressure, the standard flow SVL75 produces 32 horsepower of hydraulic power. This is approximately 40% of the skid steer’s total power, leaving plenty of power to lift the cutter and maneuver the skid steer over the toughest terrain.
High flow SVL75 brush cutter
Blue Diamond produces a mid-size heavy-duty brush cutter with a capacity of 27 and 25 gallons per minute, perfect for the high-flow SVL75.
A high-flow SVL75 produces approximately 55 hydraulic horsepower, which is approximately 72% of the miniature’s total horsepower. This is the perfect power ratio for customers who want fast reel-in times, shorter blade carrier recovery times and will be operating on fairly flat terrain.

Kubota SVL75 Pick Up Sweeper
Pick-up broom attachments are perfect for residential and construction site cleaning, and the SVL75 is the perfect host machine.
When deciding on a broom attachment for your SVL75, you’ll want to go with a 72″ or 78″ model to cover the 68″ track width. You’ll also need to decide whether or not you need a water kit. See our recommendations below.
Pick up a broom without a water kit
If you don’t need a water kit with your pick-up broom for your SVL75, we recommend the McLaren 72″ Pick-Up Broom.
The price of the McLaren pick-up broom offers exceptional value for a high-quality, American-made accessory. The high performance Parker Hannifin hydraulic motor has a capacity of 11 to 20 gallons per minute, perfect for the standard flow SVL75.
McLaren fits its pick-up brooms with 26″ bristles, 2″ longer than many competitors. Longer bristles provide longer life and greater efficiency in sweeping loose material.
Collect a broom with a water kit
If you need to keep dust and debris at bay while using your broom, you’ll need a water kit to go with it. In this case, we recommend the Blue Diamond Series 2 72″ Pick-Up Broom with a water kit.
The Blue Diamond Series 2 Pick Up Broom is built to last. The Made-In-America design has 6″ oversized bearings, a heavy duty 2″ main axle and a 7″ high front shock bar. The piston engine is designed for flows between 15 and 25 gallons per minute, perfect for the SVL75.
The optional water kit has a low profile and sits neatly on top of the broom, keeping the operator’s view of the miniature unobstructed.
The water kit has a capacity of 37 gallons and has an impressive 40 minute run time on the 72″ model. All hydraulic hoses and electrical harnesses are included with the broom.
Kubota SVL75 Rating Sheet
You may be able to qualify with a bucket for the occasional job, but any professional contractor knows there’s no substitute for a professional grade attachment. For SVL75 owners, we recommend Skeer’s Pro Plus grading system.
Skeer Pro Plus
Skeer Systems Pro Plus is the perfect grading add-on for the Kubota SVL75. The Pro Plus can be configured with a tilt plate, laser assist or full machine control with 3D guidance.
Skeer Systems recommends a minimum of 60 horsepower for the Pro Plus. The SVL75’s additional 15 horsepower over the minimum allows for high performance, even with the added weight of the tilt plate and/or machine control ready components.
Upon delivery, the owner can easily adjust the Pro Plus to ground level so that when the loader arms are down, you know you’re consistently grading at surface level. The 18″ wide AR400 cutting edge gives the grader blade 18 square feet of ground contact with the wings extended, eliminating the need for clunky wheels seen on other graders.
Most SVL75 owners will purchase the optional tilt plate and laser assist with their Pro Plus. This allows the operator to tilt the blade hydraulically (clockwise and counter-clockwise) and control grade height and grade manually with a laser receiver on the attachment.
Kubota SVL75 Six Track Bulldozer Blade
Construction companies that clear land in the summer and snow in the winter will benefit from a six-way dozer blade. But which one is best for your SVL75? Take a look below.
Dirt and snow
If you want to clear dirt in the summer and snow in the winter, Blue Diamond’s 84-inch six-way dozer blade with optional travel springs is the best six-way dozer blade for a Kubota SVL75.
The optional travel spring kit can be used in winter to protect the blade from damage in the event of hitting a solid object hidden in the snow. The travel springs can be removed in the summer to keep the blade stiff for moving dirt.
With Blue Diamond’s 84″ six-way bulldozer blade tilted to the maximum amount, the working width of the blade is 72.5″. This allows you to fully tilt the blade and still cover the width of your 68″ track.
Just dirt
If you’re just planning on moving dirt, you don’t need to worry about the optional travel spring kit. In this case, we recommend McLaren’s 84-inch 6-way Dozer blade with power tilt.
This dozer blade offers a great compromise between price and quality and is usually kept in stock for fast shipping. It features greaseable wear parts and a wear-resistant replaceable blade.
