Kubota’s SVL75 and SVL90 compact track loaders were designed to handle a wide range of tasks while keeping operator comfort in mind.
The exceptionally comfortable cab features a wide entrance for easy mounting and dismounting along with plenty of leg room to reduce operator fatigue. Models equipped with a pressurized cab offer protection from the elements and an excellent air conditioning system. The easy open, sliding front window allows the operator to get in or out of the loader regardless of attachment position by sliding up and into the cab.
The wide variety of attachments available for use on the SVL series make it a versatile, multi-tasking machine. Their best in class four cylinder, turbo charged engines provide great fuel economy and unmatched performance. Also, the vertical lift design and low center of gravity deliver exceptional stability while loading materials and leveling surfaces.
SVL uses include: brush hogging, post hole and ditch digging, sweeping, breaking and grappling rock, tree shearing, material handling and even seeding. Mostly used in construction, the SVL is ideal for farming and agricultural functions. Garrett Clark, Store Manager at Great Plains, comments on the SVL90 usage at his family’s farm.
“We use it for as many jobs as we can, but mostly for moving dirt and hay and lots of tree removal. It is amazing how fast you can get a job done. I can do three months worth of work in three days. It really saves us time.”
Serviceability on hard worked machines should always be a consideration when comparing models. The SVL makes maintenance and inspections faster and safer with a tilt up cab capable of reaching a 72 degree angle. Here hydraulic pumps, valves, lines and the hydraulic tank can be reached. Daily or routine checks can be performed by opening the bonnet. The slide and tilt radiator also enhance easy maintenance.
A key factor to the durability of this series is its outstanding crawler performance. Using the technology of their mini excavators Kubota has proven their track systems give long-life and high performance. The undercarriage forms an integral part of the main frame for maximum durability. These factors combined show the impressive strength of the Kubota SVL series.
The Kubota SVL series provides high levels of productivity giving operators hours of comfort and the ability to handle dynamic applications with a variety of attachments. The serviceability and longevity of these machines make them desirable in the construction market as well as the agricultural markets.

The New Kubota Kommander
Kubota has a new zero turn lawn mower just in time for spring. The new Kubota Kommander is an easy way to quickly and efficiently mow your lawn this year. These compact zero turn lawn mowers are built with ergonomics in mind to keep you comfortable through the longest mowing jobs. They’re easy to operate with a wide range of features designed for fast, efficient mowing.
You can mow your lawn like a pro, with the smooth, effortless performance of the Kubota Kommander. The Kommander is comfortable and stylish and is easily operated. Customers have two models to choose from, the S-model and the E-model. The ultimate residential zero turn mower comes in the following models with either a 48 or 54 inch deck: the ZG124E, ZG127E, ZG123S, and the ZG127S.
Cutting your grass at the perfect height has never been easier. The K-Lift mechanical one-push deck lift pedal raises the deck and with a simple twist of a dial, you can adjust your cutting height in precise 1/4” increments. After your adjustments, simply push and release the pedal again to lower the deck.
The ergonomic design features a seat that slides a full six inches forward and back, letting you find just the right position for maximum personal comfort. Dual operation levers provide the smooth, precise control you’ll need for delicate trimming and work around trees and flower beds. There are four storage boxes for your tools, lunch, and anything else too big or heavy for your pockets, and of course for safety the Kommander comes standard with full height ROPS.
The stylish look of the Kommander offers comfort and convenience making it a highly efficient mower to operate. The high back seat is soft and roomy and will keep you comfortable even on those extra long mowing jobs. The wide foot pan gives the operator plenty of legroom up front. It also makes entry and exit a snap. What riding mower would be complete without cup holders? The Kommander has multiple integrated cup holders. Extend your mowing in low light conditions with the stunning and somewhat extraordinary LED headlights which come standard on the S-models and optional on the E-models. The 22 inch Ultrascaper Z rear tires offer a softer ride and wide tread tires to provide better traction and weight distribution to help protect your lawn.
When performance counts, the Kubota Kommander delivers. Their powerful engines, rugged transmissions and strong frames let you take on the toughest jobs with confidence and ease. For added peace of mind they are covered under Kubota’s four year 300-hour warranty.
The Kommander is powered by hardworking engines that are available in either Kohler or Briggs and Stratton engines. All the power from the engine is delivered to the wheels and mower deck through a rugged, Hydro Gear commercial ZT3100 transmission.
A mower is only as good as its mowing deck. The Kommander uses a five-inch deep welded deck made of 10-gauge steel which provides outstanding, professional level cutting performance.
There is a lot to like about the new Kubota Kommander. From their comfortable ergonomic design to their style and convenience, these attractive, hardworking mowers are designed to make mowing as easy as possible.

The "Plus" Side of Storm Shelters
Gerald Morgan has managed customer service since 1989. As an entrepreneur, Morgan owns Storm Shelters plus and other businesses like the Old General Store on Hwy 9 near Lake Thunderbird. These businesses serve as individual dealerships for his company. Like most family businesses, he and his partners operate Storm Shelters Plus with honesty and integrity. Morgan said this about his company, “Customer satisfaction is very important to us. I have been providing services to consumers for many years, and you don’t go far without taking care of your customers. In providing storm shelters, which I believe offer a very affordable piece of mind, our work is guaranteed. As a business owner, it is rewarding to offer such a product,” said Morgan.
These shelters are engineered and designed to last for a long time, and come with an excellent manufacturer’s warranty. They have a warranty against leakage in the concrete structure for a period of 10 years from the date of installation. The product itself is a precast concrete shelter and is built to FEMA standards.
Their business is shelters, but it goes beyond that. What makes Storm Shelters Plus different from other shelter companies is they offer in-house financing. There are no credit checks, so everyone qualifies. All that is required is a small down payment. With shelters starting at $2,499 and flexible payment options, they make it easy for anyone needing a shelter. They have seven different locations that serve as dealerships for their storm shelters: Arcadia, Elgin, Norman, Oklahoma City, Midwest City, and Choctaw.
As one could imagine installing heavy concrete storm shelters into the ground requires the use of equipment. Up until a few months ago the company was renting equipment needed to perform installs. The need for multiple units was a must due to the growing amount of daily installations. Morgan commented on purchasing two Kubota KX121-3 excavators from Great Plains Kubota.
“We are installing four shelters a day and have been for a while. Basically we were losing money by renting our equipment and were to the point of needing to purchase our own excavator in order to save time and money. After researching several manufacturers we narrowed it down to Kubota and were fortunate to work with your Shawnee dealership. Great Plains salesman Bobby Norman jumped through hoops to get the units we wanted in a timely manner. His was very professional and easy to work with. Since using the Kubota excavators, we have doubled our production and cut our costs. We are now effectively catching up on our installations. Last year we were running about three months behind. Now we’re averaging only a week or so behind. We couldn’t be happier with our choice,” said Morgan.
Storm Shelter Plus utilizes their professional installers as their on the job representatives. Their experienced workers typically install four shelters a day giving them constant exposure to customer needs and the obstacles of installation. Experienced shelter operations employees such as Shannon Pierre know what it takes to properly get a shelter in the ground in a time efficient manner. Pierre commented on his use of the Kubota KX121-3 for installation.
“The cab on the excavator is quiet and comfortable which makes it easy to operate for long periods at a time. It is small but powerful which makes it a very effective machine. The tilt boom and tight tale swing allow me to maneuver around things with ease. So far I have really enjoyed working with these machines,” Pierre stated.
Storm Shelter Plus puts the“Plus” in it’s name by offering more to it’s customers. By providing an affordable product with flexible payment options Morgan’s company makes it possible for everyone to stay safe during Oklahoma’s storms.

The Science of Kubota Package Deals
Tractor packages are an increasingly popular request at our dealership, and why not? If a customer purchases three of more implements with a tractor there is a significant amount
of savings offered.
What are Kubota tractor packages? The question seems simple enough yet we get many different questions on these offers. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions regarding our Kubota package deals:
What is a Kubota package deal? Our tractor packages are any Kubota tractor that is generally paired with multiple implements. We keep several packages put together ranging from 30 - 50 HP which include a trailer, box blade and rotary cutter. To clarify, a trailer is considered an implement in our packages; however, the Kubota’s front end loader is not. The combinations of packages are virtually endless with our product lines.
What is the difference? The difference is in quality and in savings. At Great Plains we offer high-end, durable implements that are made to last such as: Land Pride, Woods, Cammond, & Blue Diamond to name a few. It doesn’t do us or the customers any good to offer cheap implements in order to lower our package deal prices. The difference in savings boils down to save now and spend less later. For example, if a customer knows they will be needing a bale spear and perhaps pallet forks next summer, but they only need a box blade now, it would be wise to purchase them all together, if possible, to receive their discount.
Is a Kubota package deal right for me? One of the great benefits of purchasing a Kubota tractor in package form is that everything can be financed together. So if you are looking for a finance purchase, and you are needing new or replacement implements, it is the perfect way to save. Our packages are ideal for first time tractor owners who may have recently purchased acreage. They are also perfect for those with small farms, hunting leases, recreational property or country-home settings. For customers who don’t need financing, discounts will still apply when three or more implements are purchased with a tractor.
Can I mix and match any tractor and implement? Any tractor when paired with three or more implement qualifies for customer savings.
How can I learn more? We offer package deals at all our Great Plains Kubota locations so give us a call at 855-4KUBOTA or go online www.greatplainskubota.com. Note that pricing may vary, and equipment is subject to availability.
