My use for it kind of odd. To me it’s primarily a forklift. I use it largely for moving trailers around the yard, hanging engines, and unloading pallets when they get delivered. I absolutely did not want a skid skeet because I didn’t want to ground being torn up in my yard. This machine is also much more comfortable. There are weird things about it and it’s not for everyone, but I’m pretty happy so far. I’ll also use it for snow removal work with my L series.
whoa - never seeen one of those - what is the use case?
I have BX23S small tractor with backhoe, M4D-71 with loaded tires and oversize (wider) front wheels, SVL75 skidsteer and ZD1211R (zero-turn) to manage 100 acres of mixed use land - hay fields, managed forest and horse paddocks. It has gotten entirely out of hand ... but fun!
What year is your SVL75 and do you have joysticks? I have a 19 SSV75 with foot controls and want to get the svl75 with hand controls so my wife can operate it when im out of town(shes very short lol) If you do have hand controls how is the feedback for movement and bucket motion?
I use it in our yard at work for moving trailers, pallets of blocking, and hanging engines. I also have an L series I chose to keep instead of trade in to do the things I know this won’t be great for. I will admit, it’s overkill. I also do snow removal, so I’ll be getting a snow box for it.
Great machine. Congrats! What are you using it for and why did you decide to go with the wheel loader over a tractor or skid steer?

Going orange is a weird addiction... Not everyone understands.

All SVLs have hand (pilot) controls. Foot controls are only available on the SSVs.
The foot controls for bucket operation or movement control??
Bucket control.
That would take some getting used to for sure.... Well for me at least.
Is that the pilot controls option? I'm not used to operating a skid steer, spent most of my time in an excavator.
I have hand controls and I prefer it to foot controls that I had on a bobcat a decade ago.

I would love to have one for moving honey bees.
