Kubota Skid Steer Attachments — Compatibility Guide

Kubota's SSV and SVL series skid steers and compact track loaders are popular across Canada for their reliability, visibility, and strong dealer support. Their hydraulic specs sit comfortably in the mid-range, making them well-suited to the most common attachment categories. Here's what fits and what to confirm with your dealer.

Kubota entered the skid steer market more recently than Bobcat or John Deere, but they've built a strong following — particularly in Ontario, BC, and the prairies — driven by their reputation for engine reliability and low operating costs. The SSV65 and SSV75 are the two main wheeled skid steer models; the SVL series are compact track loaders with similar attachment compatibility. All use the standard universal quick-attach system.

Quick-Attach System

Kubota uses the standard universal quick-attach (QA) system across their skid steer and compact track loader lineup. This provides maximum third-party attachment compatibility:

• All universal quick-attach attachments fit without adapters.
• Kubota's own attachment line uses the same standard mount.
• Third-party Canadian brands (HLA, TMG, Virnig, Erskine, Werk-Brau, etc.) are all directly compatible.
• Bobcat Bob-Tach attachments require a universal adapter plate.

What You Can Run on a Kubota

Standard Flow (SSV65, SSV75, SVL65-2, SVL75-3)

High-Flow Required (SVL95-2s, SVL97-2 with high-flow option) High Flow

What to Ask Your Dealer

1. "What is the exact aux hydraulic flow on this unit?" SSV models are standard-flow only. SVL95/97 have high-flow as an option — confirm whether it's installed.
2. "Is this machine set up for single-direction or bi-directional auxiliary flow?" Some attachments (reversible augers) need bi-directional flow. Confirm this capability for specialty attachments.
3. "What is the aux hydraulic pressure rating?" Important when matching hydraulic breakers — Kubota's 3,190 PSI operating pressure is slightly lower than some competitors at 3,335 PSI. Most breakers work fine, but verify the spec matches.
4. "Is the quick-attach plate in good condition for a used unit?" Worn quick-attach plates can cause loose or improper fit even with compatible attachments. Inspect before purchase.
