Kubota Skid Steer Price: New, Used & Ownership Costs

Kubota makes two machine types that buyers often lump together. The SSV series are wheeled skid steer loaders. The SVL series are compact track loaders, which ride on rubber tracks instead of tires. Both are used for grading, loading, and material handling, and the choice between them affects price.

The numbers on this page are the manufacturer's own "MSRP as low as" figures for the base build. They are a floor, not a final price. Options, attachments, and dealer terms all change what you actually pay.

According to Kubota USA, the Kubota SSV65 lists at $51,613 and the larger SSV75 at $59,139. Together these form the $51,613 – $59,139 range for the SSV series.

The phrase "as low as" matters. It describes the lowest-priced configuration, and it does not include buckets or attachments you may need to do real work. Plan on a higher total once you build the machine you need.

SSV65 vs SSV75

The SSV75 is the larger of the two and costs more. Choose by the work you do. Machines in this class differ in lifting capacity and hydraulic flow, so check Kubota's spec sheets against the attachments you plan to run, such as augers, mulchers, or cold planers.

If you work on soft ground, mud, or sod, tracks spread the weight and can reduce ground damage. They also cost more than wheels. Kubota USA lists the SVL series as follows.

The SVL65-2 lists at $65,297, the SVL65-2s at $69,515, and the SVL75-3 at $75,366. Stepping up, the SVL97-2 is $85,481, the SVL97-3 is $92,274, and the SVL110-3 is $119,860. These are also "as low as" figures for the base build.

Wheeled machines usually cost less to buy, and the tires are cheaper to replace than tracks. Track loaders handle soft or uneven ground better and tend to give a smoother ride, but they cost more up front and have their own wear items. Match the machine to the ground you work on. If you work mostly on pavement or hard-packed surfaces, a wheeled skid steer may be enough. If you work in wet or soft conditions, the extra cost of tracks may be justified.

The base figure is only the start. Look at:

• Cab and comfort options, such as an enclosed cab with heat and air.
• Hydraulics, since higher flow suits certain attachments.
• Attachments, including buckets, forks, and specialty tools.
• Dealer charges, such as freight, setup, and documentation.
• Taxes and registration, where they apply.
• Warranty and service plans, which dealers may offer at additional cost.

Dealer prices vary by region and by dealer, and promotions change over time. Kubota's site shows special financing offers at times, so check the current terms. Ask a dealer for a written quote with every item listed.

Buying new gives you the full warranty and the latest model. Buying used can lower the purchase price, though condition and hours matter, and this page covers only new list prices. If you need a machine for a short project, renting can cost less than owning. Ask a local rental yard what it charges and compare that against your expected use.

Kubota sells through authorized dealers. Use the dealer locator on Kubota USA's site to find one near you, and ask for a build sheet with the price of each option. Compare quotes from more than one dealer when you can, since freight and setup charges can differ.
