One Machine. Endless Possibilities.
If you’ve ever looked at a pile of dirt, a landscape project, or a construction site and wondered how professionals finish the work so quickly, the answer is often a skid steer.
At Desert Pro Equipment Rentals, our Kubota SSV65 Skid Steer is one of our most popular rentals because it’s compact, powerful, and incredibly versatile. With over 60 horsepower, a rated operating capacity of approximately 1,950 pounds, and dozens of available attachments, it’s designed to handle everything from backyard projects to commercial construction.
Whether you’re a contractor or tackling a DIY project, here are 15 jobs you can accomplish with a Kubota SSV65.
